Overview

Johnson & Johnson is a diversified healthcare company spanning innovative pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Following the spin-off of its consumer-health unit, it is focused on higher-margin prescription drugs and surgical technologies.

Its appeal is defensiveness and predictability: healthcare demand is relatively insensitive to economic cycles. The central debate is its drug pipeline, patent cliffs, and ongoing litigation exposure.
