Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), a remarkable player in the bio-tech market, has seen a surge in its stock with returns of 46% over the past five years. Recently, JNJ made waves with a double compounding move and a planned acquisition of V-Wave, a specialist in heart failure treatments, in a deal worth $1.7 billion. This move, which enhances JNJ's position in the global health equity, could boost the firm's value. Mirroring their mission of health for all, they have reached 50 million children in their Sight for Kids program. They have also made strides in fighting lung cancer with the U.S. approval of their chemotherapy-free treatment.
In terms of inclusivity and innovation, the company has been recognized in Fortune's World's Most Admired Companies 2024, reaffirming a culture of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. However, not without bumps in their journey, JNJ has faced a hefty $700 million penalty for deceptive marketing practices and has had run-ins with US agencies over changes in their drug-discount program. Their Q2 performance surpassed Wall Street estimates and they have continued to make gains in eight consecutive sessions.
