Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) remains an interesting figure in the biotech sector with multiple developments and decisions impacting the company’s outlook. The firm had a frenetic activity with product launches such as the
VOLT plating system and collaborations with entities like
USAID to strengthen health workforce in Latin America and the Caribbean. Investment moves included a massive
$2 billion investment for a new manufacturing facility in North Carolina and the
acquisition of V-Wave, a medical device firm that specializes in advanced heart failure treatments, for $1.7 billion. Legal troubles with ongoing
talc lawsuits still persist, leading them to the point of filing for bankruptcy thrice. There is also the cessation of last-stage studies for drugs targeting bladder cancer and dengue due to adjustments in their R&D portfolio. Their future earnings now look worrying, with estimates pointing towards a decline and reaffirms that the company expands its commitment to
advancing health equity stateside while efforts to combat counterfeit medical products have also been made. Their subsidiary J&J's talc bankruptcy remains in Texas, for now.
