AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

JNJ is now a premium-priced growth story, so investors should hold or add only if Innovative Medicine can convert launches into margin-accretive earnings fast enough to offset Stelara erosion and MedTech weakness; otherwise, talc uncertainty and a ~30x P/E leave meaningful downside risk.
