JNJ’s Consumer Business Expected to Be Driven by Innovation

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is scheduled to report its third-quarter earnings on October 16. The company’s second-quarter growth in its Consumer business was below expectations. However, it expects to accelerate the segment’s growth in the second half of the year, driven mainly by the introduction of new products. The company’s other two business segments are Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices. Johnson & Johnson’s Consumer business consists of a range of products across its baby care, oral care, women’s health, beauty, wound care, and over-the-counter franchises.
