Johnson & Johnson stands alone as a leader across the major healthcare industries. It maintains a diverse revenue base, a developing research pipeline, and exceptional cash flow generation that together create a wide economic moat.
The majority of J&J's near-term patent losses are for products that are hard to manufacture, which should reduce the intensity of generic competition.
J&J's late-stage drug pipeline is relatively weak for the size of the company, which could create long-term headwinds for growth.
