Description
**Summary:**In a groundbreaking deal, Kimberly-Clark, known for brands like Huggies and Kleenex, is set to acquire Kenvue, owner of Band-Aid and Tylenol, in a nearly $49 billion agreement. This merger will create a consumer staples powerhouse with ten billion-dollar brands. The news sent Kenvue's stock soaring and Kimberly-Clark's shares plummeting, reflecting market excitement and skepticism.
