TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate JNJ as a TOP PICK. The global consumer care product and health care manufacturer is being considered by the FDA for a COVID-19 vaccine booster. It trades at 24x earnings compared to peers at 28x and pays a decent dividend backed by a payout ratio under 55% of cash flow. Cash reserves continue to grow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $147, looking to achieve $191 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 2.65% (Analysts’ price target is $190.38)

BUY

Steady and boring with a AAA balance sheet and tremendous growth prospects. Boring is good.

DON'T BUY

Broadly, pharmaceuticals and healthcare space is not providing a ton of opportunity. Trading at reasonable valuations with 3 divisions. Consumer business is in trouble because more people are going towards generics. Pharma business hasn't seen much tailwind from covid vaccines.

TOP PICK

They are in pharma, medical devices and personal care. They are diversified and can weather many different economic conditions. Elective surgeries are coming back with 57% increase in revenues. Social media mentions are up 58% over the last 24 hours.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 20/20, Up 20%) Has long held this. Pharma, medical devices and personal care are their businesses. Unlike other pharmas companies, with JNJ when one sector lags, the others carry the weight. For example, medical devices (due to few elective surgeries) plunged during Covid, but bounced back 58% in revenues last quarter. JNJ has increased their dividend for the last 40-50 years annually. Great balance sheet, and raised guidance in their last quarter which they also beat. A risk are lawsuits; they could lose a suit in the future and pay big settlements, like $250 million to settle to opiod-addiction suit in New York state.

BUY

JNJ's vaccine appears to be the least effective against the new Covid strains. And yet, JNJ benefits from Washington expected to decree booster shots for Covid, so the drug space is benefiting as a whole.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical

PARTIAL BUY

It's not a high-grower. Abbot offers stronger growth, but JNJ offers a very defensive portfolio and a reasonable 18x PE. Also pays a good dividend of around 5%. JNJ is defensive in good and bad times. Over time, they raise their dividend and buyback some shares.

biotechnology / pharmaceutical

BUY

JNJ vs. PG Valuation of 16-17x earnings is cheaper than PG. A healthcare company: medical devices, healthcare, pharma. PG is just consumer products, trading at 23x earnings. More opportunity in JNJ, with a caveat on the talc lawsuits. Medical device side should do well post-Covid. Dividends similar in the 2.5% range.

BUY on WEAKNESS

It has been a great long term stock. He would own it if it were a little cheaper. They are in a good sector. The entry point is too expensive, otherwise he would like to own it.

BUY

Doesn't own, but likes it. Steady, strong technical chart on the upswing. 17x earnings for a 9% growth rate. Diversified products, strong management. Great for cashflow and long-term growth. He prefers Pfizer and ABBV. See his Top Picks today. Yield is 2.6%.
