A diversified healthcare name. The pharma drug pipeline is robust with success launching products that should continue. Strong balance sheet and pays under a 3% yield that they've increased in 50 straight years. The medical devices unit got hit by the lockdown, but surgeries are coming back (they reportedly snapped back to 85% pre-Covid). They are developing a vaccine, but won't make a profit, they say, in the first stage. (Analysts’ price target is $163.63)

It's not cyclical enough to thrive. They're diversified in pharma (drugs) and medical devices. The former benefited from the lockdown from a stockpile in meds they were able to still sell, but now he doesn't know if medical devices can fully benefit from the backlog of surgeries that is being addressed now. Doesn't know if JNJ leads in medical devices. Also, JNJ isn't cyclical, which is where should be flowing. JNJ is trying to respond to the rise of robotic surgery by Intuitive Surgical, which he prefers. This take time and research for JNJ, which means Intuitive will still be ahead of JNJ. JNJ as a defensive will underperform cyclicals, which is where the market is heading as we exit this recession.

Unique healthcare company with its 3 divisions: medical devices, personal products, pharma. Last quarter, medical devices were challenged. US election risk. Just bought Momenta. JNJ is a great company that continues to execute. Litigation risks are successfully defended. Covid vaccine deal. Good valuation. Yield is 2.70%. (Analysts’ price target is $163.58)

Owns JNJ instead of Pfizer, because she likes its diversity, and its product pipeline is strong. PFE has a strong balance sheet, but JNJ's is stronger. JNJ's medical device side is recovering nicely, plus they were able to give guidance at a time when many companies can't.

JNJ vs ABBV? He likes JNJ as a long term winner. It may be too expensive. ABBV was a risky company until they purchased Allergan and diversified their business more. ABBV trades at 8.4 times PE and earnings are expected to grow by 8% and have nice, safe dividend. They are still tethered to Humara, which has a lot of generics being developed. He would favor ABBV, although it is a little riskier than JNJ.

It is three different companies: a medical device division; personal care division; and the pharmaceutical division. It continues to execute very well. They are not dependent on their pipeline of drugs. You have a great opportunity to buy a diversified company. There have been some risks on products like talcum powder but they are very good at defending themselves. (Analysts’ price target is $162.10)
