This summary was created by AI, based on 10 opinions in the last 12 months.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) has shown some volatility recently, primarily due to performance issues in its cardio business, despite reporting a solid beat-and-raise quarter. The company has successfully addressed past legal challenges related to talcum powder, minimizing the overhang of these lawsuits. Analysts are optimistic about JNJ’s upcoming earnings report expected on July 15, anticipating positive news about its oncology drugs and orthopedic business, although caution persists due to erratic stock movements following disclosure of results. The spin-off of the orthopedics division is viewed positively as it shifts focus towards higher-margin pharmaceutical and medical device sectors. Overall, JNJ is seen as a solid investment due to its strong drug pipeline and improved balance sheet, even as the company navigates its litigation concerns.

WAIT

Sold off when it broke a technical signal in the early spring. Starting to look interesting at this price. Has a lot of free cash flow. It's only 50% pharmaceutical with the rest being consumer products. All the big pharmas are under pressure because of some hearings in the next few weeks.

BUY

This has not been a great environment in the last few years for drug stocks, but J&J has been an exception. A diversified medical company with all kinds of businesses. Has been the best performing drug stock and thinks it will continue to be.

TRADE

The only drug company they own and it is for the medical devices and for the consumer products rather than the pharmaceuticals.

TRADE

Has the best fundamentals of all the drug stocks. Drug sector has come under a number of significant pressures.

BUY

A great company. Feels the US$ will drop so there is a modest exchange risk.

BUY

May be considered boring, but the stability in terms of earnings is going to work well as a theme in the sector.

BUY

Widely diversified product line and not like normal pharmaceutical companies.

TOP PICK

A great business. Low valuation.

TOP PICK

Good ballast for portfolios. Cheap valuation.

TOP PICK

2% yield. Didn't do much over the last year but is starting to recover with different products. On a valuation basis compared to their peers, they are at a much deeper discount. A safe investment.

TOP PICK

Pays a little over 2% dividend. A multitude of products. Terrific track record of making money. A safe place to be in uncertain times.

TOP PICK

With the feds tightening and profit growths slowing, the market is going ahead for higher quality stocks. A well-run company and is not expensive.

BUY

Likes the longer-term outlook for pharmaceuticals. Historically, they have performed relatively well when interest rates are going up.

BUY

Health-care sector is the best sector to be in. Can't think of anything better than this stock. Wide range of products.

DON'T BUY

Big pharmas have a problem of being too big and gets more leverage through Boston Scientific.
