RBC Capital Maintains Outperform on Johnson & Johnson, Raises Price Target to $178

Monday, Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) said it discontinued the Phase 3 SunRISe-2 trial of TAR-200 in combination with cetrelimab versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIBC) patients who are not receiving radical cystectomy.
Following an Independent Data Monitoring Committee <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jnj.com/media-center/press-releases/johnson-johnson-statement-on-the-sunrise-2-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">recommendation</a> and pre-specified interim analysis, <a target="_blank" href="https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04658862?term=SunRISe-2&amp;rank=1" rel="noreferrer noopener">SunRISe-2</a> was discontinued for not showing superiority versus chemoradiation.
&#8220;We remain confident in the TARIS platform having over $5 billion potential,&#8221; Johnson &amp; Johnson notes.

Johnson &amp; Johnson is set to release its third quarter 2024 earnings next Wednesday, 15 October. As per data from Benzinga Pro, the analysts estimate adjusted EPS of $2.20 and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenue of $22.13 billion</a>.
Goldman Sachs has reiterated its Neutral rating while increasing the price target <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JNJ/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">from $155 to $162</a>.
The analyst expects the pharma giant to report third-quarter results in line with consensus expectations on the top line with revenues of $22.26 billion, with year-over-year growth of +4.4%, representing a slight incremental deceleration in the pace of growth from the first half of 2024.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; outlook for the quarter remains mostly consistent overall, with a slight upward revision to the Innovative Medicine forecast compared to estimates following the second-quarter results. This improvement is attributed to potentially less impact from introducing biosimilar Stelara in Europe during the third quarter.
This adjustment helps counterbalance a modest reduction in the MedTech segment forecasts.
&#8220;We expect management to reiterate guidance on the FY25 revenue growth outlook of +3% or more, and for longer-term targets (Innovative Medicine growth at a CAGR of 5-7% from 2025-30, and growth at the upper end of the 5-7% CAGR for MedTech from 2023-27) to remain intact,&#8221; the analyst writes.
Price Action: JNJ stock is down 0.21% at $159.20 at last check Tuesday.

Mosnodenvir (formerly JNJ-1802) was shown to be safe and well tolerated in previous Phase 1 and Phase 2a clinical studies.
In October 2023, results from the Phase 2a human challenge study found that the compound induced antiviral activity against dengue (DENV-3) in humans, compared to placebo.

All participants received daily doses of JNJ-1802 or a placebo over 26 days, during which they were challenged with DENV-3 on day 5.
All participants were monitored over 85 days. The study found a dose-dependent antiviral effect on the detectability of DENV-3 RNA and time to first onset of detectable DENV-3 RNA compared to placebo and was safe and well-tolerated.

Johnson & Johnson's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Wednesday, Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) revealed results from a head-to-head study of Erleada (apalutamide) compared to Pfizer Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Xtandi (enzalutamide).
The data showed that Erleada (apalutamide) provided a statistically significant overall survival benefit at 24 months compared to enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41140779/erleada-apalutamide-demonstrates-statistically-significant-and-clinically-meaningful-improvement-i" rel="noreferrer noopener">sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC)</a>.
Presented at the 6th European Congress of Oncology Pharmacy, the study of nearly 4,000 patients represents the largest real-world, head-to-head analysis of these two androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in mCSPC.
The analysis demonstrated patients with mCSPC who initiated Erleada as their first ARPI had a statistically significant 23% reduction in their risk of death at 24 months compared to patients who initiated enzalutamide.

The proportion of patients alive at 24 months (87.6%) observed in the Erleada cohort in this real-world analysis is consistent with that in the Phase 3 TITAN trial (82.4%).
TITAN demonstrated a statistically significant superior overall survival benefit of Erleada plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to ADT alone at the primary analysis after a median of 22.7 months of follow-up and at the final analysis after a median of 44 months of follow-up.

Johnson & Johnson's Erleada Shows Improved Overall Survival In Prostate Cancer Patients Compared To Pfizer's Drug

Largest head-to-head real-world study in mCSPC demonstrated that ERLEADA&#xAE; reduced risk of death by 23 percent at 24 months compared to enzalutamide
LISBON, Portugal, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) today announced the results of a landmark real-world, head-to-head study showing that ERLEADA&#xAE; (apalutamide) provided a statistically significant overall survival benefit at 24 months compared to enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Presented at the 6th European Congress of Oncology Pharmacy (ECOP) in Lisbon, Portugal, on October 2 (<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4268936-1&amp;h=3004083318&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fecop.events%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F09%2FClinical_evaluation.pdf&amp;a=Abstract+%23P31">Abstract #P31</a>), this study of nearly 4,000 patients represents the largest real-world, head-to-head analysis of these two androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in mCSPC.
The study applied U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) real-world evidence guidance and employed robust methodology, data sources and a large, diverse cohort to ensure validity of its findings. The retrospective study identified mCSPC patients who initiated ERLEADA&#xAE; or enzalutamide between December 16, 2018 – December 31, 2023, based on patient data in electronic databases. There were 1,800 ERLEADA&#xAE; and 1,909 enzalutamide initiators who met study criteria.
The analysis demonstrated patients with mCSPC who initiated ERLEADA&#xAE; as their first ARPI had a statistically significant 23 percent reduction in their risk of death at 24 months compared to patients who initiated on enzalutamide (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.62-0.96;&nbsp;P&lt;0.019). The proportion of patients alive at 24 months (87.6 percent) observed in the ERLEADA&#xAE; cohort in this real-world analysis is consistent with that in the Phase 3 TITAN trial (82.4 percent).1 TITAN demonstrated a statistically significant superior overall survival benefit of ERLEADA&#xAE; plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to ADT alone at the primary analysis after a median 22.7 months of follow-up (HR 0.67; 95% CI, 0.51-0.89;&nbsp;P=0.005) and at the final analysis after a median 44 months of follow-up (HR 0.65; 95% CI, 0.53-0.79;&nbsp;P&lt;0.0001).1,2

Friday, Legend Biotech Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEGN#NASDAQ">LEGN</a>) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>)&nbsp;announced late-breaking three-year follow-up data from the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g41075653/carvykti-is-the-first-and-only-cell-therapy-to-significantly-extend-overall-survival-compared-to-s" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study.</a>
Data shows that a single infusion of Carvykti&nbsp;(ciltacabtagene autoleucel) significantly extended overall survival (OS) for relapsed or lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma patients who have received at least one <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g41075653/carvykti-is-the-first-and-only-cell-therapy-to-significantly-extend-overall-survival-compared-to-s" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior line of therapy</a>.
The company says Carvykti&nbsp;is now the first and only cell therapy to improve OS versus standard therapies for patients with lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma as early as the second line.
These results were presented at the 2024 International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting.
The Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study evaluated Carvykti&nbsp;compared to standard therapies of pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (PVd) or daratumumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone&nbsp;(DPd) for relapsed or lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma after one prior line of therapy.
<ul>
<li>At a median follow-up of almost three years (34 months), median OS was not reached for patients in the Carvykti&nbsp;arm.</li>
<li>At 30-month follow-up, OS rates were 76% in the Carvykti&nbsp;arm and 64% for patients treated with standard therapies.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
In patients randomized to the Carvykti arm, Carvykti reduced the risk of death by 45% compared to standard therapies, demonstrating clinically meaningful responses for patients as early as after the first relapse.
<ul>
<li>Median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached in the Carvykti arm and 11.79 months in patients treated with standard therapies, demonstrating sustained deep and durable responses.</li>
<li>Patients in the Carvykti&nbsp;arm had a 77% complete response or better and an 85% overall response rate.</li>
<li>Patients in the Carvykti&nbsp;arm had 62% minimal residual disease (MRD)negativity at 10-5&nbsp;and 57% MRD negativity at 10-6, compared to patients treated with standard therapies (18.5%, 9%), respectively.</li>
<li>The Median duration of response was not reached in the Carvykti&nbsp;arm, but it was 18.69 months for patients treated with standard therapies.</li>
<li>Median time to symptom worsening was not reached with Carvykti&nbsp;and 34.33 months with patients treated with standard therapies.</li>
</ul>
William Blair views this data as a positive step for the company, reinforcing the case for Carvykti&#8217;s use in second-line treatment.
The analyst writes that the near-term revenue and stock performance will largely depend on the availability of commercial manufacturing slots. William Blair&#8217;s outlook remains that Legend&#8217;s valuation fairly reflects the approval of Carvykti in second-line-plus treatment, its anticipated peak revenue, and the current progress of its other pipeline programs.
Price Action: LEGN stock is up 2.29% at $50.40 during the premarket session at last check Monday.

 </style>Upon a comprehensive analysis of Johnson &amp; Johnson, the following trends can be discerned: 
<ul>
<li>

</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $7.8 Billion is 0.23x below the industry average, suggesting potential lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The gross profit of $15.58 Billion is 0.22x below that of its industry, suggesting potential lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 4.31% is significantly lower compared to the industry average of 13.27%. This indicates a potential fall in the company's sales performance.
</li>
</ul>

The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio provides insights into the proportion of debt a company has in relation to its equity and asset value.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When evaluating Johnson &amp; Johnson alongside its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following insights arise:
<ul>
<li>
Johnson &amp; Johnson has a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers, as evidenced by its lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.58.
</li>
<li>
This suggests that the company has a more favorable balance between debt and equity, which can be perceived as a positive indicator by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Johnson &amp; Johnson in the Pharmaceuticals industry, the PE, PB, and PS ratios are all low compared to its peers, indicating potential undervaluation. However, the low ROE, EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth suggest underperformance relative to industry standards.

In-Depth Analysis: Johnson &amp; Johnson Versus Competitors In Pharmaceuticals Industry

In October 2023, Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) announced its plans to spin off its consumer healthcare business as the French pharmaceutical company outlined its strategic update to increase investment in its drug-development <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/10/35458838/sanofi-goes-the-rival-way-plans-separation-of-consumer-healthcare-unit" rel="noreferrer noopener">pipeline and cut costs</a>.
Sanofi said the spinoff would allow it to increase its focus on innovative medicines and vaccines.
Sanofi&#8217;s consumer health unit boasts a portfolio that includes popular over-the-counter products like Phytoxil cough syrups, Icy Hot pain relief gels, and Dulcolax laxative tablets.&nbsp;
According to a Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-24/sanofi-said-to-get-binding-bids-from-cd-r-pai-for-consumer-arm?srnd=prognosis&amp;embedded-checkout=true" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, two private equity firms, Clayton Dubilier &amp; Rice and PAI Partners, made separate bids for Sanofi&#8217;s consumer health division.
The update pushes the European pharma giant closer to one of the largest European deals this year, which could value the unit at 15 billion euros ($16.8 billion) or more, the Bloomberg report added.
The separation is expected to occur by Q4 2024 by creating a publicly listed entity headquartered in France.
In July, Goldman Sachs Group Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) and&nbsp;Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) said they were preparing to arrange more than $6.5 billion (6 billion euros) in debt financing for potential buyers interested in acquiring&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39755459/sanofis-20b-consumer-health-unit-sale-goldman-sachs-morgan-stanley-line-up-6-5b-financing" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanofi&#8217;s&nbsp;consumer health division</a>.
The move highlighted banks&#8217; interest in supporting leveraged buyouts through pre-arranged financing.
Sanofi may opt for a spinoff of its consumer health business if the offers aren&#8217;t appealing, Bloomberg noted, citing sources. A company spokesperson told Bloomberg that Sanofi is evaluating potential separation options, with the earliest possible transaction happening in the fourth quarter of this year, and noted that preparations are progressing as planned.
In November 2023, Sanofi reportedly initiated talks with Rothschild &amp; Co. to explore the possibility of spinning off its consumer health division, which could potentially value the business <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/11/35823034/major-buyout-firms-eye-sanofis-consumer-health-division-spinoff-valued-over-20b" rel="noreferrer noopener">at over $20 billion</a>.&nbsp;
Rival pharma giants&nbsp;GSK Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) split their consumer healthcare units&nbsp;Haleon Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLN#NYSE">HLN</a>) and Kenvue Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KVUE#NYSE">KVUE</a>), respectively.
Price Action: SNY stock closed at $57.62&nbsp;on Tuesday.
