This morning the news said that distribution has been halted in the US, so the stock is declining today. Like Pfzier, JNJ is seeing a one-time bump because of their vaccine. JNJ is struggling in their consumer business as consumers move to generic drugs, not branded. Also, litigation remains a cloud, referring to asbestos in its Baby Powder. There are other opportunities in healthcare, like Anthem, the insurer, or retailer CVS, or Abbvie trading at a reasonable PE and offers good growth.

(A Top Pick Mar 12/20, Up 34%) A great company. Pharma, medical technology and consumer products are its three divisions, so if one lags, the others pick up the slack. Has great cash flow and pays an increasing yield. They came out with a Covid vaccine quickly. Developing drugs is a risk, because it depends on FDA approval, but JNJ operates three divisions to spread overall risk. He likes that, unlike pure pharma which depend on their drug pipeline.

It's done relatively year. Their pharma pipeline remains strong and accounts for nearly half their revenues. The medical devices business is a recovery play as elective surgeries will see a ramp up after delays from Covid. JNJ will grow earnings in double-digits for the next couple years. It trades at a reasonable 17x PE. Has a strong balance sheet, and has raised its dividend for 58 straight years (now 2.5%). She likes healthcare long term. JNJ won't make much money off their vaccine, but their pharma pipeline is solid. (Analysts’ price target is $183.68)

Trades around 15x 2022, versus the market which is around 22x. A fine name to own with a decent dividend. Did very well during covid. He is looking to add to names that didn't do well during covid. It is not on his list for this reason. He would shave down and add money to more growth play.

Very strong balance sheet, low debt to capital, a brand name. The only division that's clicking is pharma and the vaccine. Medical devices area has been hurt by Covid. Consumer side has taken a back seat, as many are buying generic brands. Talc litigation overhang.

(A Top Pick Jan 08/20, Up 20%) Trades at 18x earnings and has increased its dividend for the last 54 years or so. They operate three businesses (personal care, pharmaceuticals, medical devices), so one segment lifts a sagging one, which is good. Has long owned this. He looks forward to their Covid vaccine phase 3 trial data in coming days. The vaccine won't make them a ton of money but will validate their R&D process. This stock will continue to do well.

(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.
