Dividend Idea Johnson&Johnson | Healthcare Growth Pick

Weekly Dividend Stock Ideas Researched by The Dividend Yield Weekly. Our weekly dividend idea is the global healthcare and consumer company Johnson&Johnson (JNJ). 

Below the the full free PDF Analysis Report for free. Johnson & Johnson is a holding company. The Company, along with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of a range of products in the healthcare field.

Within the United States, eight facilities are used by the Consumer segment, 10 by the Pharmaceutical segment and 34 by the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment. J&J is an industry bellwether and therefore its shares generally reflect the overall performance in healthcare products at any given point in time. It also reflects investor appeal for “defensive” securities, as during periods of economic or market uncertainty investors have generally sought haven in J&J shares as its earnings are less cyclical.
