Kenvue Inc. (KVUE) Has 'Good Brands,' Says Jim Cramer
Kenvue Inc. (NYSE:KVUE) is a consumer goods company whose shares are flat year-to-date. Since the start of June, its shares have lost 9.8% after its CEO warned that consumers were pulling back on spending, which could lead to slow second-quarter sales. However, July 14th turned out to be a great day for the shares as they gained 5.4% in premarket after the firm announced that its CEO would leave. Cramer's remarks were made on Friday, and he maintained that Kenvue Inc. (NYSE:KVUE) has some great brands that it can leverage for better sales:
'It's down like 20 bucks now. . .they're not doing as well as I'd like.
The CNBC host discussed Kenvue Inc. (NYSE:KVUE) in detail in March. Here's what he said:
'I am more in favor of Kenvue than I was yesterday, David. Appreciate you coming in early to do that one. But no, this is a good example.'

'Don't you think that there is a belief with adjustment that there's not a lot of urgency here. That they've kind of been taking their time at the same time this could be a tremendous consolidator of all these companies that have been spun off that really all have their own boards and the administrative stuff. You really don't want that. When you're selling into Amazon, direct-to-consumer, you're selling into clubs, that's where you sell this stuff. Now Larry Merlo, chairman of the board, he comes from CVS, but he is there. I thought that both Hofstetter and Mann, sounded like total hitters. . . And I have more respect for Jeff Smith than, I mean Jeff Smith will come on the board with a real plan. And I think if they don't go with the plan, I think that there could be a change . . .'

Airbyte Data Movement Enhances Data Sovereignty and AI Readiness
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Airbyte, the open data movement platform, today announced three significant updates to its on-premises Airbyte Enterprise product that provide organizations with greater flexibility and control over their data while ensuring that data is ready to work with AI. 'All these new capabilities are directed towards making data AI ready with more control, context, and speed because without data, there is no AI, and without the right data, AI is no good,' said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte. Airbyte's platform updates include the ability to facilitate data sovereignty and compliance across different global regions; synchronize data with its metadata to assist AI models' ability to improve reasoning and accuracy; and directly load data volumes to BigQuery and Snowflake, which increases data sync speeds and reduces compute costs. 'All these new capabilities are directed towards making data AI ready with more control, context, and speed because without data, there is no AI, and without the right data, AI is no good,' said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte. ' Studies have shown that too often, AI projects are abandoned due to poor data quality and escalating costs. We help organizations command their data quickly and securely. Our enhanced data sovereignty feature will appeal to businesses in areas like Australia where compliance rules have been a challenge for many organizations, helping Airbyte expand in those regions.' The new multiple data planes feature can be used by organizations to keep control of their data on-premises in order to maintain data sovereignty and compliance across different regions, but with an improved, centralized user interface (UI) that efficiently manages all of it holistically. Airbyte now enables synchronized unstructured files and structured records to be transferred in the same data pipeline, which is the most efficient way to preserve metadata and data relationships – enabling richer data context and significantly improving the performance of AI Large Language Models (LLMs) using that data. Direct loading represents a new, streamlined way that Airbyte loads data into BigQuery that will soon be available for ClickHouse and Snowflake, plus other destinations. Direct loading can reduce compute costs by 50 to 70%, and increases speed by up to 33% depending on the use case. Airbyte makes moving data easy and affordable across nearly any source and destination, ensuring enterprises have accurate, timely data for analysis, decision-making, and AI. With over 900 contributors and a community of more than 230,000 members, Airbyte supports the largest data engineering community and is the industry's only open data movement platform. The company announced a strong first quarter with a 25% increase in revenue and has recently received multiple industry recognitions for its innovation and growth.
