Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is viewed largely favorably among analysts despite ongoing challenges, notably the talcum powder litigation, which many believe could soon be resolved, leading to a potential rebound in stock performance. The company has a strong presence in the pharmaceutical and medical devices sectors following a recent spinoff, and it boasts a pristine balance sheet with a history of dividend increases. Analysts highlight the attractive valuation, with a price-to-earnings ratio in the low 14s, bolstered by a solid dividend yield around 3.3%. Social media buzz surrounding the company has surged, reflecting increased interest, and many experts suggest that now may be a good time to buy given its relatively low price and stable financials. The consensus is that, while the stock has faced some pressures, it presents a compelling opportunity for long-term investors willing to ride out current volatility.

It reports Tuesday when we should get a legal update about those suing JNJ for cancer allegedly being in their talcum powder. It's been stuck in a range forever, though not in a perpetual downturn like other pharma. This could turn around on any big news on any new drug.
After spinoff, now just pharma and medical technologies/devices. One of 2 AAA-rated US companies (the other is MSFT). Pristine balance sheet forever. Divvy increases for 62 consecutive years, all from free cashflow. Crazy-cheap valuation of 14-15x PE, partly due to ongoing talc litigation. Yield is 3.34%.
Recent press release was like none other. Company stated talc litigation based on fake science; if the other side won't settle, JNJ will litigate each and every case separately. He suspects this is a ploy to force a settlement. Expects it to be over by year's end.
Is a hodge-podge of consumer products, some medical business and an also-ran in businesses like hips and knees. This has always traded at a premium for being a well-run consumer package company that money managers can't get fired for owning. It's so big that it needs to be broken up.

The consumer product monster has increased debt lately, but analysts feel comfortable with the low debt to earnings ratio. This is allowing the company to continue growing cash reserves. It trades at 24x earnings and supports a 20% ROE. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $133 looking to achieve $174 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 3.3%
(Analysts’ price target is $174.28)
