Let’s check out Johnson & Johnson today:
JNJ is stronger than average on profitability, a little below average on growth and valuation, and has a strong credit profile. They are a big company and definitely not going anywhere any time soon:
They’ve grown mostly in line with the market but have slowed a bit in recent years:
Revenue growth has been strong since the onset of COVID:
Price-to-sales has grown since the Financial Crisis to levels near the peak seen over the last thirty years:
Profit has grown alongside revenue but took a big hit due to a strategic response to the tax cut act a few years ago:
Price-to-earnings looks fairly steady, helping to justify valuation more than price-to-sales:
Profitability has been steady:
The balance sheet has grown at a reasonable rate over time:
Which means return on assets has been solid, though somewhat lower in the time since the Financial Crisis:
JNJ is a solid company. You may not see explosive gains but it’s a safer pick amidst volatile market development compared to other companies out there.
