Johnson & Johnson Q3 revenue rises 6%, EPS falls 7.5%, shares drop 5% amid $5.5bn talc litigation reserve

Johnson & Johnson reported a 6% revenue increase to $25.4 billion in Q3 2026, but earnings per share (EPS) declined 7.5% year-on-year, causing the stock to fall 5%. The company set aside $5.5 billion to resolve talc litigation, aiming for 95% plaintiff participation, though legal uncertainties remain. Growth in the Innovative Medicines division offset patent losses, but the MedTech segment underperformed, leading to plans to spin off its orthopedics unit. Despite challenges, JNJ remains a solid long-term hold, though less attractive currently due to MedTech struggles and no exposure to GLP-1 drugs.

Johnson & Johnson trades at USD 246.65 on Pluang as of Oct 14, 2026 00:21 WIB, down 6.48% in one day. The stock's market cap is $635.56 billion, with a 52-week range between $186.00 and $278.43. Pluang data shows 84% of orders are sell, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid recent challenges.
