Pop Quiz, does KVUE look like it wil l have explosive movement by end of next week?
Don't have a clue how options work. Do I need to wait until January/February to sell my contracts?
I Hate what the market has turned into but KVUE/JNJ is a lil wild

I'm going to swallow half a bottle of Tylenol and bliss out to the impending autism. Calls on KVUE
KVUE was a master class on the strategies used by this administration to manipulate the market in nationwide tank, pump, and dump schemes.
KVUE has been a surprising bright spot in my portfolio, bought a bunch around when the merger was announced now sitting on almost 10% gains and waiting for the divvies to hit this week
KVUE crushed earnings and is up 1% after hours! I'm totally retiring (slightly earlier than the average) cause of this HUUUGE win...
Does anyone know when KVUE reports earnings???
If you want free money, get KVUE calls. Thank u for your attention to this matter
KVUE is still in the green, proving that autism can overcome all
So many good companies trading at a discount right now. Today, I bought up calls on SERV MBLY BULL NIO Bought shares of BABA I'm waiting for INTC to drop down to 43 again, but it might not. Have dry powder to avg more if markets continue to dip. Sold KVUE & KMB.
It does when they keep raising them, and you see the only reason the stock is so low is cause of the KVUE deal, either it doesn't buy KVUE and rockets up or it does and makes even more money and rockets up
KMB at a 10 year low cause of KVUE deal but is beating earnings everytime I smell free money
KMB manipulation goes crazy 10 year low only cause of KVUE deal and beat earnings with good outlook yet stock still didn't move and went down a bit instead lol, forcing it down for cheaper Tylenol acquisition
You can buy meth but I’ll take the pick and shovels that enable that industry. Long KVUE. And once the meth is cooked and ingested, people will need to fix their teeth, so long ALGN.
$3.50 cash + 0.14625 KMB shares per KVUE share = about $18.12 (KVUE shares currently trading at $17.38.)
yes, on low volatility positions I don't mind having called away. My current favorite child is my KVUE position
Finally, my -99.9% KVUE calls will go away from my port tomorrow. I really thought Tylenol was the future
90% of portfolio is cash rn. My last holdings were BTU, HAL, SMCI, & KVUE which were all sold at their highs (except HAL, sold at 27:( ). The US economy looks like dog shit so I’m actually short SPX as of 11:30am today
what the hell is KVUE waiting for? sue the fruit!!
I have a little money in KVUE and I’m down about 10%. I’m marking it for some tax loss harvesting this year as I rebalance, but it still pays a good dividend, it still beats guidance every quarter, and a lot of what dragged its stock price down is plainly bullshit. So yeah, I’ve chased it down since a 21¢ quarterly dividend on a $17 stock is a pretty good deal.
Some of my favs: MO, AGNC, F, VZ, VALE, KVUE Shout-out to the obvious ones like WMT and TGT
It's about equal at current prices when considering stock+cash value of KVUE vs KMB. (KMB lost \~20% and KVUE gained \~20% after the announcement.) It could be slightly cheaper to buy KVUE, but KMB also has a slightly better dividend, so it's probably a wash. Without taking the cash payout into consideration, KMB is definitely the better deal right now, so depending also on if you'd rather have cash or shares.
Can;t you still buy KVUE to get KMB cheaper post merger?
Look to ETFs. ETFs are a diversified fund. There is a small fee for using them. QQQ and SPY for safer plays. You can even just look what stocks are in these ETFs and copy them purchasing the stocks directly to avoid the fee. It comes down to your risk profile and time window. If you have a long time window, I’d routinely just buy in set intervals stocks like Microsoft, NVDA, Cummins, WM, etc. and set it and forget it. Maybe buying a little extra on dips. Personally, I make some riskier plays, but also value invest. I sold my PLTR, NVDA, IONQ, and AMD for some decent gains, now I am waiting for a larger pullback in the “AI” market to buy back in. I recently purchased, Chipotle and I am up 20% on that, but may sell soon and move the position to Duolingo. I also purchased KVUE at 16.50 (Tylenol) as the company is doing well, but the stock is down on bad press and another company is looking to purchase it at $20 a share essentially just handing 30% gains to stock holders if the deal goes through. Most of my long term stocks are REITs I purchased extremely cheap during the COVID crash.
Whenever Trump hypes peace in Ukraine and starts promoting peace talks/negotiations Europe defense shares like RNMBY EADSY EUAD fall. As the talks fail and the fighting continues these shares rise. The RFK JR/TRUMP autism/Tylenol announcement hit KVUE, now the shares are up as KMB is buying the company.
Entirely fun money port. Let me know what y'think of these micro-caps. Don't worry - the "core portfolio" is legit, mostly QQQ etc. - SATL (ignored space play) - KVUE (only till merger) - IMSR (smhow have faith in this) - LENZ (smartphone addiction story; insiders purchased) - RR (too cheap to ignore)
Don't forget to use **Listerine mouthwash** after gulping down all those Xmas sweets. My 50 pre-merger $KVUE shares will thank you.
KMB and KVUE merger vote is open
Royal Bank at 180.83' SOFI at 27.05' Microsoft at 513.77' KVUE at 17.03'
There's some upcoming legislation that might give automated trucking a boost and I'm still bullish on AUR and maybe some others out there. I think there's some upside on KMB and KVUE in consumer products and I'm bullish on consumer products in general but many seem overvalued. Otherwise not seeing many interesting value oriented buys out there. No doubt more Trump shenanigans to come but the runway for pumping vol I think is running out. Good opportunities for options people still out there though
All that noise about "Tylenol" was to drive the price down of KVUE - so that it can be acquired. Warner bros story repeating here? https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=kvue&ta=1&p=d&ty=oc&e=2026-03-20 See $20 calls volume
Just follow smart money. All that noise about "Tylenol" was to drive the price down of KVUE - so that it can be acquired. Warner bros story repeating here. https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=kvue&ta=1&p=d&ty=oc&e=2026-03-20
Nothing. I have learned all the wrong lessons. I'm a long term value investor BUT I actively seek out drama, because that drives prices well into my "zone of safety". 2025 - UNH and KVUE. (Donald) 2024 - UBER (robots) 2023 - RTX and WFC.(Bank panic, turbine failures) 2022 - GE (Split) and BASFY (Ukraine) 2021 - LMT (Funding cuts) 2020 - HAL, NCLH, BRK (March madness) I have no crystal balls but when people start screaming is when I get most interested. Catching the bottom is hard but I don't really need to to make money. I just need to correctly assess whether this is a short term solvable problem or a long term unsolvable problem.
Worry not, for KVUE is up by 8 pennies.
Femy was my only green pennystocks, all my mid price shares are were my money is being made (NDAQ, WSR, KVUE, TRIN, WU, and mostly Rivian)
KVUE and other consumer defensive stocks
Also a late 20’s uneducated opinion here. I’m not familiar with KMB or KVUE, but the other 3 companies are probably being hit fiercely by the wave of organic alternatives on the market for products such as paper towels, tooth paste, seran wrap, laundry detergent, etc. This trend shift in consumer sentiment is rapidly shifting away from these harsher, historical chemically filled products that a Colgate, Clorox or Proctor and Gamble make. (I for one am not switching to an “organic disinfectant for my counters, but that’s my own two cents). I also think we are seeing a big change in the historical channels that these businesses used to access consumers. These big name producers used outlets like Walmart, Target, CVS, Publix, to sell their products, and have minimal to no web presence for direct to consumer. COVID really brought a rise to social media consumerism, so many more small businesses are popping up and selling through tik tok and instagram than ever before. These businesses are selling “organic replacements” to many of the same products the companies you provided also sell. The first name I can think of would be “Dr Squatch Soap” I always see ads for that stuff. If these companies like Clorox or Colgate lose their ability to gain market share by simply purchasing premium shelf space at a supermarket, and now have to compete with 1000 other new brands/faces online with strong B2C online ability, and potentially lower overhead per unit. Idk why I typed this much out, just stoned and scrolling through reddit, but I don’t think I’m that off base. I for one didn’t know Clorox was even a public company or that they were only a $12B company, I’m buying that! People can go “organic” all they want, but I want some STRONG chemicals when I’m cleaning up after raw meat or other messes.
Paxton back with more KVUE shenanigans. TX judge orders KVUE and JNJ to register with the Secretary of State. I assume this is Paxton's attempt to circumvent the jurisdiction issues he ran into with the court orders last month. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-08/tylenol-maker-isn-t-registered-to-operate-in-texas-judge-says
$KO, thirsty computerbrains crave caffeine. $LLY $NVO, bodies made sedentary by overcomputation need weight loss drugs. $KVUE day of hard computing leads to headaches, rational/logical computational minds reject government link tylenol/autism. Any index fund – brain/machine interface leads to economic explosion and worldwide renaissance, valuations soar
KVUE just paid me a tasty dividend and trains are awesome
This. It’s not my core strategy, but when a solid dividend stock I like falls into a range I like…I sell a put ~35-40 delta. If assigned I sell calls and collect dividends, if it keeps dropping I sit tight and collect dividends, maybe average down some. Some recent ones I’ve used is BMY and KVUE. Also WEN, which I’m currently red on, but close enough to still collect some call premiums above cost. Div + premiums + cap gains when called away is usually a nice return for the timeframe when it works. When I go in the red for a while at least I’m still collecting div.
Well, KVUE is still heading up this morning. A sign that today's market will be autistic.
Dubiously credible rumors circulating of second interested KVUE bidder
I bought 20 shares of Nvidia and 11% of the port is KVUE (Tylenol), the rest is ETFs and cash
So are my KDP, WSR, PLBY, KVUE, and FEMY
Had 1/16/26 KVUE 17c’s that just fell off a fucking cliff 😂
One last pump for KVUE and now it's on the way down
KVUE keeping me green during this hilarity.
KVUE is doing quite well, tyvm.
Nvidia - 33% VEQT - 22% Reddit - 19% VFV - 19% KVUE - 6% KVUE is my swing trade money. I already cut some Nvidia into RDDT in January. I want to buy even more RDDT, what are others thoughts? This is a tax free account so I can only deposit about 7k per year.
I bought Nike at $52 and Target at $87. Bought ROKU at the absolute bottom in April and got rid of it at $100. Microsoft still have it and bought in April. UNH I bought it at $255 wish I bought more of it. I’m into dividend stocks. I like KVUE, Nestle, PFE, KHC, Roadzen, UNH, NVO but I bought NVO very low and it has a dividend. I like food stocks that have been around for multiple decades. I know food stocks and pharmacy stocks aren’t sexy tech stocks but I’m not buying tech because I think it’s a bubble and evaluation is ridiculously high I’ve been through 4 recessions. Sold all my TTEK shares for a profit (has no dividends).
I didn’t go LEAPS but my near term KVUE options went the same route. Thankfully I entered a vertical which I expected to exercise to capture gains if necessary
Texas v KVUE ruling coming today in regards to the dividend. I think the hearing in Panola County has wrapped up: 11/14/2025 Hearing (9:00 AM) (Judicial Officer Rafferty, LeAnn Kay) Defendants Special Appearance Pursuant to Rule 120a(2) and Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, Injunction and Motion for Expedited Discovery. 11/14/2025 Motion Motion for Protective Order
Only safe place is KMB and KVUE, pile in boys and pump my bags
ALB and KVUE were the only things that closed green in my port today
Should have invested in autism safe haven. KVUE is green.
I also look at these trades and I have to say not all of them are valid, I entered KMI, KVUE and BBAI. I see that they buy many many many consumer goods and energy stocks, like VZ, PG, OXY... do you know what that means? They are preparing for the bear market
I would once again like to thank KVUE for keeping me green during these dark times.
If the buyout goes through, you get .14625 shares of KMB and $3.50 for each share of KVUE
Bought KVUE at $14.39 and sold a $14.5 PUT. Like the next day it jumps to $16, and today someone called the shares away. I mean, I made $75, but still...I kind wanted that dividend. Ah well.
Would like some advice on my KVUE. My cost basis is $17. Not sure whether to sell at break-even. The KMB buyout has me confused on next steps.
Thats really the main value here for KVUE shareholders. If KMB stock stays where it is at now, 0.14625 \* 105 = 15.35 + 3.50 cash per share of KVUE = $18.85 value - so as of today KVUE should only go up if KMB stock goes up. Technically right now at KMB's price, KVUE is overvalued by $1.65 as of today if I am doing my math right. The only benefit to this is that in theory you will only see KVUE stock go down more than $1.65 if KMB stock also goes down between now and the closing, and you still get to collect KVUE dividends in the meantime which are very generous now. To me this deal kind of sets a good floor for the KVUE stock price and with that fat dividend this will be a safe hold so long as the tentative deal stays in place and on track.
UNH NVO KVUE being good to me today
KVUE still a good value I think. I expect Paxton's totally bullshit motion to suspend the dividend to fail this week: PDF of the motion: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Motion_1.pdf
Probably just a software thing. The 1/16 23C contracts were reading at $250 a pop while KVUE was still sitting at ~16.80
KVUE calls gonna print hard this week!
Just before close on Friday I bought KVUE calls, $17 strike, 11/14 exp. This thing had been so beat down and the merger with KMB puts a value on KVUE somewhere in the neighborhood of $18.5-$21per share(depending on the value of KMB itself.) I figured something didn't quite add up when KMB offered over 40 billion to acquire KVUE while KVUE market cap sits at 30 billion. Not to mention KVUE was up over 15% on the week while the market as a whole was in the red. Currently KVUE sits at $16.88 and id be really suprised if it doesn't move up to at least $18 this week.
KVUE calls $17 strike exp November 14. Gonna print hard.
Once again I am thanking KVUE for saving my port during this crisis.
Found a safe haven, KVUE and KMB. They already tanked so hard before this market downturn that they didnt hardly dip at all both on the recovery. Get in if you are looking for safe gains and you also hate gay puts
Why is KVUE discounted so much relative to its $21 deal price ($18 now based on Kimberly drop). It’s not an antitrust issue so why are people pricing as if deal may not go through? There’s a $1 billion + break up fee
KVUE cup and handle on the day
I was just looking into the deal and im not sure this is correct. I don't think the 21.01 is set in stone, I think that is just the estimate based on the cost of KMB on OCT 31 (119.75)+ the $3.5 and .14625 KMB shares = 21.007. I can't see anywhere in the deal that it says anything about the price of KVUE at closing having any meaning in the deal. Maybe im misunderstanding though.
Green today cause of KVUE. Thank you autism!
Dude??? I am literally GREEN, hard GREEN today: KMI, KVUE, MFG, AES? It seems like I live in the twilight zone.
Am I crazy? Everything is green on my end, KMI, Cyberdyne, AES, EQT, MQ, KVUE??? These are not on a stampede but they've been bullish since April 2025?
KMI's very green tho? Why u red? KMI, KVUE, AES, MUFG, EQT, MQ, NMR? Go and make some cash. Not financial advise, I am a blood sucking bot.
Decent entry for KMB I think. I hedged my KVUE position with KMB at $100 in case the merger falls apart. Best case I get a new KMB position and sell after the merger. Or sell both after Texas inevitably drops its lawsuit
Selling KVUE and buying KMB is you essentially betting on the deal not going through. Looks like the market thinks KMB is overpaying for KVUE (I believe that’s why it dropped) given the price reaction after it was announced. If the deal doesn’t go through, KMB should pop. I guess you have to figure out what you’re solving for
Your gain on KVUE can only be between your entry point and $21.01 if the sale goes through. It could be 6-8 months before that happens. Depends on your feeling on the market, but your essentially tying up your money for that period of time to net $X amount of dollars with the risk the deal falls through and you end up taking a dump on it.
Loaded up on the KVUE dip earlier for 11/21. Gonna ride those for a bit. Swung some VIX calls because tomorrow looks like it's gonna be poop. Watching the 663 SPY level to see if we get a bounce
You’ve got this completely backwards. A longer dated option will have higher Vega and the price will react more to a one point move in vol (Vega defined). I suspect KVUE had a downward sloping term structure (short dated options have higher vol than longer ones) so you may feel the implied vol “crush” (which no one outside of Reddit says ever) more as vol drops from 80 to 20 on the short end while vols only drop from 30 to 20 on the long end (made up numbers to illustrate my point).
If AMPX and KVUE don’t rip in the next few weeks I’m going to end up working a morning black friday shift at Walmart (night shift at Wendy’s)
Why isn’t KVUE movie to $21 if there’s a buyer for it ?
can someone please explain to me why KVUE, after news of buyout of $21 per share, is struggling to get to $17. is it bc i own it, that would make most sense
So KMB wants to buy KVUE with stock and KMB's stock fell while KVUE climbed. But AI taught me that promising things is supposed to increase the valuation on both sides? Is this not how it works now?
If Kimberly-Clark has a deal to buy $KVUE for $21.01/share, why is the price still well below that? Do investors not think the deal will happen, do they think the price will change, or is there something else going on?
KVUE discount way too high relative to price fixed in for next year from acquisition deal
