Stay healthy with Johnson & Johnson?

Thursday, June 1, 2023

With artificial intelligence (AI) dominating the news flow, Big Tech has drastically outshined its counterparts in 2023. And though healthcare is one of the worst-performing S&P 500 sectors, out-of-favour assets often outperform when sentiment shifts.

Johnson & Johnson underperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 7% in May. However, Citigroup analysts see a 20% upside and expect J&J to hit $185 after the spinoff of Kenvue. They wrote:

“What remains is world-leading medical technology and pharmaceutical franchises, which can focus R&D (and management energy) on respective pipelines while creating a more cohesive drug/device potential…. In other words, there is momentum at the new, streamlined JNJ.”

The stock’s long-term uptrend remains in place and we’re near levels that could elicit buying pressure. $154 is near the February to September 2020 highs, the January to November 2021 lows, and the early 2023 lows.

J&J’s 50-month MA has acted as long-term support since 2011. And if you analyse the candles, you can see that bullish reversals have occurred near this area. Therefore, with another iteration upon us, the risk-reward looks attractive, given the technical and fundamental setup.

Healthcare was one of the best-performing sectors in 2022, while technology was one of the worst. And while riding momentum can prove profitable, the former has shown the ability to perform in bull and bear markets.

So, does J&J deserve a look, or should you stick with the winners and roll with Big Tech?

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
