Our note on each quarter Johnson & Johnson files

10-Q filed October 21: Johnson & Johnson

Revenue for the twelve months to September 2026 reached $99.3bn, a rise of 7.8% on a year earlier and broadly in line with the pace set a quarter before. Free-cash-flow margin held at 20.7%. Our model value is little changed at $177 a share, well below the $268 market price. The rating stays Sell. At $268, the model implies the market is pricing in roughly 13.9% a year of cash-flow growth over five years. That runs well ahead of the 4.8% a year revenue growth the company has actually delivered.

Earlier notes (1)

Where Johnson & Johnson stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to June 2026 was $97.9bn, up 8.1% on a year earlier, about the same pace as a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin rose to 22.7% from 20.5% a year earlier. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades C. It passes 2 of our 6 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $178 a share, against a share price of $259. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 13.5% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, faster than the 4.5% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~January 20, 2027 (estimated)

Johnson & Johnson's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 7.8% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 20.7%. Where it stands out: net margin of 16.2% ranks 15 of 75 pharmaceuticals companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$180 per share in the base case (~$130–$240 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 5.1% while net income fell 35.9%: a 41pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • High operating margin. 29.6% of revenue is left as operating profit.
  • Margins widening. Operating margin is up 5.1 points on a year ago.
  • Strong cash generation. 20.7% of revenue turned into free cash flow, against a median of 10.1% for pharmaceuticals companies we cover.

Things to watch

  • Priced above our value. The share price of $270.56 is 35% above our value per share of $180.
  • High earnings multiple. The shares trade at 41 times the last 12 months' earnings, so expectations are demanding.
  • Estimates being cut. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has fallen 9.5% over 90 days.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 13.9% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the 4.8% a year revenue growth Johnson & Johnson has delivered.

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($269.21, Nov 3, 2026).

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Johnson & Johnson's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($21.1B, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 6.8% and 6.7% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 6.8% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$130–~$240 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Johnson & Johnson's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $21.1B, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Johnson & Johnson as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 7.6%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.6 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Moat

92 /100

Strong moat

How hard Johnson & Johnson's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 20 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 20.6% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 20 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 67.8%, moving by 1.6 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 18 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 24.4%; its worst year was 20.9%.

  • Cash conversion 20 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 23.2% of revenue.

  • Discipline 20 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 8.6% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.3% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (97 before it).

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Johnson & Johnson’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Options look fairly priced

Implied volatility is within its normal range against realised. Selling options earns the usual premium, nothing extra.

  • Implied is 1.19× the last 60 days’ realised volatility , richer than 53% of the 229 stocks we screen today.
  • Why: implied is not far enough above realised, or not unusual against our coverage.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Collar

Own the shares, buy the $260 put and sell the $285 call, both expiring November 27, 2026 (25 days).

  • Net cost of $1.75 a share ($175 per contract of 100 shares).
  • Worst case at expiry: -4.4%, if the shares fall below $260 (-3.8% from today).
  • Best case at expiry: +4.8%, if the shares rise above $285 (+5.5%); gains beyond that go to the call buyer.

Offered because the shares trade at or above our fair value of $180: a way to hold on with a floor under the price, paid for by giving up upside the model does not expect. Strikes near 25-delta; the put at its ask and the call at its bid. Protection has a cost over time: research on protective puts finds they have usually lowered returns.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Johnson & Johnson in five measures

Fundamentals grade B
Growth Profitability Cash Balance sheet Value

Growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet are percentiles against the companies we cover in the same industry, from SEC filings (100 = best). Value compares the share price with our modelled value range (50 = at our base value; higher = cheaper). A description of reported data and our model — not a quality score or advice.
