Its pharmaceutical business develops drugs for areas such as cancer, immunology and neuroscience, while its medtech business sells surgical, orthopaedic, cardiovascular and vision products.

StocksXray gives Johnson & Johnson an X-Ray Score of 50 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 48% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is growth (58) and its weakest is dividends (42).

Our fair value blend is $214.43 (range $205.60 to $223.85). At $255.56 the stock trades 19% above that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
