Expert Comments:

Stephen O'Neil, Hilliard Lyons (4/17/13) " Double-digit growth in two segments contributed to higher Q1 sales for Johnson & Johnson. . .U.S. sales rose 11% with growth in pharmaceuticals and medical devices. . .new drugs performed well. . .in particular, the biologic Stelara, Incivo for hepatitis C, the cancer drug Zytiga, and the anticoagulant Xarelto achieved strong sales growth. . .we view the company's diverse business mix positively. Strong finances allow for share repurchases, opportunistic acquisitions and dividend growth."

Trefis (4/3/13) "Johnson & Johnson has received a major boost as its blockbuster potential type 2 diabetes drug, Invokana (commonly known as canagliflozin), was granted U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. The approval marks the company's first entry into the huge diabetes market. . .we currently expect the drug to achieve over $1B in peak sales."

Trefis (3/6/13) "Johnson & Johnson's blockbuster potential experimental drug, canagliflozin, is expected to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval by the end of the month. . .while the potential of the drug is much higher, currently we expect the drug to achieve over $1B in expected peak sales."

Larry Biegelsen, Wells Fargo Securities (3/1/13) "Johnson & Johnson finished 2012 on a strong note in terms of its pharma pipeline. . .pending pharmaceutical pipeline events in H1/13 include canagliflozin for diabetes PDUFA date around end of March, PDUFA date for Xarelto for acute coronary syndrome indication is around March 7, U.S. and European simeprevir for Hepatitus C regulatory filings in H1/13. . .we believe the company's business is starting to turn the corner and we expect the pipeline to deliver accelerating growth."

Rajeev Jashnani, UBS Securities (2/21/13) "Johnson & Johnson has two key opportunities on the horizon with canagliflozin and Xarelto acute coronary syndrome. . .the Street is probably baking in <$500M whereas the upside case could add $2.5B in revenues (adding ~1% to our 2013–2016 revenue compound annual growth rate of ~4%) and 6% to earnings per share by 2016."
