🏆 Johnson & Johnson: 139 Years of Health and Steady Dividends

Success Stories — A New Episode

In Short
Johnson & Johnson isn’t just a household name — it’s a symbol of resilience, innovation, and one of the most consistent dividend payers in the U.S. market. The company has successfully adapted to changing times, spun off its consumer health division, sharpened its focus, and continues to deliver strong value to long-term shareholders.

📈 The Path to Success

Founded in 1886, Johnson & Johnson began as a pioneer in sterile surgical products. It was one of the first companies to mass-produce antiseptic wound care kits, revolutionizing safety in medical procedures.

Fun fact: The company introduced first aid kits in 1888, initially designed for railroad workers. They soon became a standard in homes, schools, and workplaces.

Today, J&J is focused on two core segments:

  • Pharmaceuticals – covering oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and more

  • MedTech (Medical Devices) – spanning surgery, orthopedics, and vision care

In 2023, J&J spun off its iconic consumer health brands — including Tylenol, Band-Aid, Listerine, and Johnson’s Baby — into a new publicly traded company called Kenvue (KVUE).

Despite this major shift, J&J has maintained its leadership and high profitability in its core operations.

💰 Dividends and Financial Strength

  • J&J has raised its dividend for 63 consecutive years — one of the longest streaks on Wall Street.

  • In April 2025, the dividend was increased again by 4.20%, to $1.25 per share quarterly.

  • Full-year EPS guidance for 2025 was raised to $10.65–$10.80, reflecting operational strength.

🧠 What Makes J&J Unique

  • A powerful pharma portfolio, including life-changing drugs for cancer, immune disorders, and mental health

  • Over $15 billion annually invested in R&D

  • Strong financial discipline with minimal debt following the Kenvue spin-off

Did you know? J&J developed one of the earliest polio vaccines in the 1950s and played a key role in modern surgical innovations, including biodegradable sutures and minimally invasive tools.

🧩 Why This Is a Success Story

Johnson & Johnson is a rare example of a company that continues to transform, grow, and reward shareholders — all while staying true to its mission of improving human health. In times of change or stability, its business quality speaks for itself, making J&J a true dividend powerhouse.
