At first glance, a concerted focus on stable blue-chip stocks might seem excessively cautious. After all, the market is booming, companies are hiring and people are spending.

Kenvue, a spin-off from Johnson & Johnson, has solid financials and a strong portfolio of iconic consumer products. The company's dividend is safe with a conservative payout ratio, and they initiated a share repurchase program during Q3. Because of this, I've initiated the stock as a speculative buy currently. Kenvue has a strong balance sheet and a lower valuation compared to other consumer staple stocks, making it an attractive investment opportunity.

Band-Aid maker Kenvue Inc (NYSE:KVUE) saw its shares hit on Thursday morning after laying out guidance below Wall Street expectations. Kenvue said adjusted profit would sit between US$1.10 to US$1.20 per share for the year ahead in Thursday's fourth quarter results, lower than analysts' estimates of US$1.26.

Kenvue forecast full-year profit below analysts' expectations after missing quarterly sales estimates on Thursday, as the Tylenol maker faces sluggish demand in China and slowing growth for skin and beauty products in the U.S. The company, spun off from Johnson & Johnson in August, missed Street estimates for fourth-quarter sales in both its self-care, as well as skin health and beauty segments.

Chevron can grow its cash flow at a strong rate even if oil prices cool off. Kenvue is in an excellent position to grow shareholder value as an independent company.

JNJ stock occupies a top spot in many portfolios due to its consistent performance and low volatility. But should we really and readily accept JNJ as a SWAN stock? A fresh look at Johnson & Johnson is warranted, especially in light of the split-off of its Consumer Health segment (Kenvue stock) and amid the ongoing talc litigation. I share my view on JNJ's two remaining segments, their future prospects, and the decline in cash flow due to the split-off of the Consumer Health segment.

While many, if not most investors, appear bullish about the market's prospects this year, it's never a bad time to consider long-term dividend stocks. By that, we're talking about profitable, relevant enterprises that you can trust.
