The old prestige pyramid—where Ivy League degrees and blue-chip consulting backgrounds paved the way to the CEO seat—is cracking.
April 24, 2023: According to The Wall Street Journal, Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health business is worth $40 billion ahead of its starting public offering.
The very soon spinoff Kenvue is aiming to increase $3.5 billion or more in the offering, people known with the matter told the Journal.
The newspaper stated that “the share sale would be the biggest of a quiet year for IPOs.”
Kenvue is looking to meet with future investors as early as Monday, the reports told the Journal.

The temporary hold will give J&J time to win court acceptance of its $8.9 billion proposed compromise with plaintiffs in the talc cases.
Kenvue will assume talc-related liabilities that increase outside the U.S. and Canada, its IPO filing showed.
