Johnson & Johnson leads 2026 defensive stocks with 35% gain, outpacing Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble.

In 2026, among defensive stocks, Johnson & Johnson outperformed with a 35% gain driven by strong oncology and immunology sales and a robust pipeline. Coca-Cola followed with a 28% rise, benefiting from steady global volume and pricing power, while Procter & Gamble lagged at 4% due to cost pressures and flat sales. This divergence highlights that defensive stocks' risk profiles don't always align with returns. Investors may favor JNJ and KO for their growth and stability, while waiting for PG to overcome its challenges.
