• Recent context: Kimberly-Clark announced a landmark transaction in 2025 to acquire Kenvue, the Tylenol maker, which would alter the company’s structure and ownership dynamics post-closing, but the fundamental ownership model remains publicly traded shares owned by multiple investors rather than a single owner.
