Johnson & Johnson Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, Outperform Rating, $148 TP) “Pharma Growth Drivers Poised to Deliver Further Upside” Reinstating Coverage of JNJ with an Outperform Rating and $148 Target Price: We reinstate July 20, 2017 coverage of JNJ after the close of the Actelion acquisition. The stock has appreciated ~20% since the deal was announced on Jan 26 (vs. the S&P 500 +7.5%) but we see room for further upside, driven by RESEARCH ANALYSTS key pharma growth drivers. Based on channel checks and detailed modeling we have done across various therapeutic areas, we see opportunities for significant upside from assets such as Xarelto, Vamil Divan, MD (212) 538-5394 Darzalex and Imbruvica.

We already know COMPASS was successful in reducing major (212) 325-7298 adverse cardiac events. Based on the details in the data, our analysis suggests an additional 4MM [email protected] patients (or more) could become candidates for Xarelto. Beyond Xarelto, we are also optimistic on Barbara Kotei Imbruvica and Darzalex as both products have had strong uptake to date and are moving into earlier lines (212) 538-8119 of therapy and additional cancer indications that can drive further growth. In immunology we expect [email protected] additional Remicade biosimilars to take a greater toll on JNJ in 2018, but strong growth from Stelara as Duaa Mohamed well as initial uptake of Tremfya and sirukumab should offset this expected decline. (212)538-8127 Actelion acquisition adds another area of focus, but at a steep price. We believe the ~$29.1Bn [email protected] that JNJ paid for Actelion is slightly above what the company was worth, although it does bring JNJ another area of growth and possible future upside through the equity stake in R&D spin-out Idorsia. Catalysts: (1) COMPASS data for Xarelto at ESC on Aug 27; (2) sirukumab PDUFA in mod-severe RA HOLT CONTACT on Sept 22; (3) potential entry of additional Remicade biosimilars in the US in 2H 2017. Conchita Gonzalez de Castejon Risks: Disappointing clinical data, challenging commercial launches, increased concerns around drug (212) 325 2547 pricing and integration risk represent the primary downside risks to our call. conchita.gonzalezdecastejon@credit- suisse.com Valuation: Our $148 target price is based on a 75%/25% blend of DCF ($149) and relative ($144) valuation and suggests ~10% upside from the latest closing price. We use a 7.0% WACC along with a 1.5% perpetuity growth forecast for our DCF valuation and apply 18.5 times our new 2018 EPS estimate of $7.79 for our relative valuation.

In immunology we expect additional Remicade biosimilars to take a greater toll on JNJ in 2018, but strong growth from Stelara as well as initial uptake of Tremfya and sirukumab should offset this expected decline. Sentiment on Macro Factors Likely an Important JNJ Driver in Coming Months: We expect investor focus in Pharma (and Health Care in general) in the coming months to remain on the news out of Washington, D.C. Expectations around drug pricing and tax reform are both headed in the direction that would be of benefit to JNJ (and its larger pharma peers) as significant reforms to how drugs are priced in the US is more and more unlikely in 2017 while corporate tax reform occurring in 2018 remains a real possibility. Actelion Acquisition Adds Another Area of Focus, But at a Steep Price: We believe the ~$29.1Bn that JNJ paid for Actelion is above the ~$23Bn that we think the company was worth. However, the revenue synergies could be significant given JNJ’s commercial infrastructure, and the structure of the deal does provide JNJ with another avenue for future upside through its equity stake in the R&D spin-out Idorsia. Additional business development and M&A remain possible (especially if tax reform does occur) despite the price paid for Actelion. Blended Valuation Suggests Room For ~10% Further Upside: Our DCF (based on forecasts through 2026, a 1.5% perpetuity growth rate beyond that, and a 7% WACC) suggests that JNJ is worth $149/share. On a relative basis, using an 18.5x P/E multiple off of our 2018 EPS estimate of $7.79 suggests that JNJ is worth $144/share. Our blended target price, based on 75% DCF and 25% relative, is $148, or about 10% above the latest closing price.

    Drug Information Center Highlights of FDA Activities – 9/1/20 – 9/30/20 FDA Drug Safety Communications & Drug Information Updates: Efficacy & Safety Concerns for Atezolizumab in Combination with Paclitaxel 9/8/20 The FDA alerted health care professionals and patients that a clinical trial evaluating atezolizumab plus paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated inoperable locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer that the drug combination was not effective. The combination of atezolizumab with another paclitaxel formulation, paclitaxel protein‐bound, is currently approved for use in adult patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer, but this continued approval may be contingent on the results of additional studies. Paclitaxel should NOT be used as a replacement for paclitaxel protein bound in clinical practice. Electronic Expanded Access Requests 9/23/20 The FDA announced that the Reagan‐Udall Foundation has launched Expanded Access eRequest, a tool to submit expanded access requests for individual patient expanded access for drugs and biologics in non‐emergency settings. The tool allows auto population of forms, uploading of relevant documents, links to resources for physicians, patients, and caregivers, and secure application submission to the FDA. Benzodiazepine Drug Class: Drug Safety Communication ‐ Boxed Warning Update 9/23/20 The FDA is requiring the Boxed Warning be updated for all benzodiazepines to address serious risks of abuse, addiction, physical dependence, and withdrawal across the medication class. Changes are also being incorporated in the Medication Guides, and other sections of the prescribing information including the Warnings and Precautions, Drug Abuse and Dependence, and Patient Counseling Information sections.

  • Mcneil Consumer : Mdl No
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: MCNEIL CONSUMER : MDL NO. 2190 HEALTHCARE, ET AL., MARKETING : AND SALES PRACTICES LITIGATION : : Applies to: : ALL ACTIONS : MEMORANDUM McLaughlin, J. July 13, 2012 This multidistrict litigation arises out of quality control problems at the defendants’ facility manufacturing over- the-counter healthcare products in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, which led to a series of recalls of those products. The named plaintiffs assert claims for economic loss on behalf of a putative nationwide class against Johnson & Johnson (“J&J”), McNeil Consumer Healthcare (“McNeil”), and four of their executives. The plaintiffs allege that they overpaid for the defendants’ products as a result of the recalls and the defendants’ scheme to conceal or downplay the scope of the quality control problems. The defendants, who have offered a coupon or cash refund to consumers who purchased recalled drugs, have moved to dismiss the operative complaint, and assert that the named plaintiffs lack constitutional standing and have not met the applicable pleading standard. The Court will grant the defendants’ motion because the plaintiffs have not pled facts that show a cognizable injury in fact, which is required to confer Article III standing. I. Procedural Background This litigation resulted from the consolidation of ten individual actions filed around the country. Haviland v. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, No. 10-2195, was filed in this Court on May 12, 2010, asserting economic injuries arising out of the April 30, 2010 recall of over-the-counter children’s drugs by McNeil, a part of the J&J “Family of Companies.” Eight additional cases, also arising out of the April 2010 recall, were filed in district courts around the country.1 All cases asserted claims for economic injury only, with the exception of Rivera v.
