What believers are saying

  • Carvykti topped $1 billion annual sales in January 2026, strengthening oncology.
  • IMAAVY won FDA approval on August 24, 2026, expanding a second launch.
  • Q2 2026 sales rose 6.6% to $25.31 billion, and guidance increased.

What critics are saying

  • The July 2026 talc settlement covers only existing claims, leaving future lawsuits open.
  • CVS dropped Stelara from main formularies in May 2026, accelerating biosimilar pressure.
  • Carvykti’s FDA boxed warning and Legend partnership constrain multiple myeloma expansion.

What makes Johnson & Johnson unique

  • J&J spans Innovative Medicine and MedTech, reducing dependence on any single franchise.
  • Carvykti and IMAAVY show J&J still converts R&D into first-in-class approvals.
  • Its oncology and immunology franchises offset Stelara’s erosion.

J&J rises 1% as AbbVie's myeloma drug shows 74% response rate

Johnson & Johnson shares rose roughly 1% to $277.96 Thursday after AbbVie announced its experimental multiple-myeloma drug, etentamig, achieved a 74% response rate and reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 60% compared to standard therapies. AbbVie's trial positions a convenient monthly treatment in the myeloma market for potential outpatient use. However, J&J is defending its growing franchise, with Carvykti driving 6.8% operational growth in Innovative Medicine during the second quarter. According to Reuters, etentamig appears most differentiated after CAR-T therapy rather than as a direct Carvykti substitute. The market is treating AbbVie's advancement as category expansion rather than a direct threat to J&J. J&J's current share price stands 44.08% above its $192.92 valuation estimate, making future safety and durability data critical for investors.

P&G commits $10B in dividends amid 2.8B productivity savings while J&J's 28.5% stock surge masks mid-2027 spinoff risk

Procter & Gamble's dividend strategy is outpacing Johnson & Johnson's despite J&J's stronger stock performance this year. J&J's forward annualised dividend of $5.36 exceeds P&G's $4.354, but its planned mid-2027 DePuy Synthes spinoff threatens its dividend streak. P&G CEO Shailesh Jejurikar committed $10 billion in dividends and $5 billion in buybacks for fiscal 2027, supported by $2.8 billion in productivity savings. The company returned over $15 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2026, including more than $10 billion in dividends. J&J's stock surged 28.5% year-to-date versus P&G's 1.3% gain, driven by strong product performance. However, the upcoming spinoff poses uncertainty, as similar corporate events have disrupted other companies' dividend streaks. P&G faces no such structural risk.

AbbVie vs. Johnson & Johnson: Which healthcare stock offers better value in 2026?

AbbVie and Johnson & Johnson present distinct investment profiles in the healthcare sector. AbbVie focuses on biopharmaceuticals in immunology, oncology, and aesthetics, reporting fiscal 2025 revenue of $61.2 billion, up 8.7% year-over-year. Net income reached $4.3 billion with a 7% margin. The company generated $17.8 billion in free cash flow despite a negative debt-to-equity ratio of -21x. Johnson & Johnson operates through Innovative Medicine and MedTech segments. Revenue hit $94.2 billion in fiscal 2025, rising 6%. Net income nearly doubled to $26.8 billion from $14.1 billion the previous year, yielding a 29% margin. Its Darzalex portfolio accounted for 15% of total revenue. AbbVie relies heavily on three wholesale distributors for US sales, creating concentration risk. Johnson & Johnson maintains broader distribution globally.

JNJ stock surges 54% as TREMFYA's $2B quarter offsets STELARA's biosimilar decline

Johnson & Johnson's stock surged 54% between late August 2025 and late August 2026, outpacing the S&P 500's 20.5% return. The driver was a product transition that management flagged seven months before the rally began. STELARA faced biosimilar competition and declined 43.2% by mid-2025. Management named TREMFYA as its replacement, targeting the same inflammatory bowel disease patients who comprised 70% of STELARA's prescriptions. TREMFYA grew 30.1% during the same period. By July 2026, TREMFYA posted its first $2 billion quarter with 71% growth, offsetting STELARA's 55.7% decline. This product swap lifted the company's operational sales outlook to a $100.6 billion midpoint, demonstrating revenue durability despite losing a major franchise.
