(A Top Pick Dec 16/19, Up 16%) Has gained some altitude. There has been no shortage of negative headlines over the years. Pharmaceuticals is a litigious industry in general. A well diversified company. A slower growth pharma company. However, it is a wonderful company looking at durability. Valuation is just above their buy price of $148. Would wait for a pullback to enter.

Biden will protect Obamacare, which spells great news managed care companies. Healthcare will continue to be a major theme this year. JNJ especially is well-positioned for earnings, new products and their eventual vaccine.

He bought it to increase his healthcare holdings. They have several business: prescriptions, medical devices, a huge consumer business, and vaccines. He's waiting for med. devices to pick up after operations resume globally after Covid. JNJ and Merck seem to lag the others in vaccines, but there'll be many opportunities to sell vaccines--vaccines will be a big winner for JNJ.

Looking at the technical structure of the stock, the 200-day moving average has been moving sideways. We are not seeing growth, similarly to Pfizer. There is a 5-6% growth rate but paying 17x forward price earnings. A good quality name but there is not enough growth.

One of the companies going through a vaccine trial. They were in the news recently because they had to pause trials due to an illness in a test participant. However, it is not just about the vaccine. They have consumer, pharma and medical device. There is still litigation list from the talc issue. It trades at 15x earnings, which is reasonable but it does take into account vulnerabilities. He prefers BDX.

JNJ vs. ABT Similar businesses. You absolutely need exposure to healthcare. He holds JNJ for the dividend aristocrat qualities. ABT has been impressive. Testing platform has been phenomenal and will continue to ramp up. It's a great addition to portfolios at these levels. Tough choice between the two, but ABT probably has more immediate upside.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly In the search for a pandemic vaccine, JNJ is a potential winner. Leveraging off their proven technology with their Ebola, HIV and other vaccines, the company continues to develop a COVID-19 vaccine that presently shows strong immunity response in 99% of trials. It is also the only option that is testing a single-dose vaccine. Revenues have dipped 10% in the latest quarterly earnings, but that can be attributed to a slow down in elective procedures. It pays a good dividend backed by a 67% payout ratio. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $132. Yield 2.75% (Analysts’ price target is $165.06)
