Valuation Perspective
Trading at P/E TTM of 20.06x vs. Forward P/E of 19.02x, JNJ commands a premium to its historical average of 15.52x.

27 institutions maintain coverage with 5 Strong Buys, 11 Buys, and 12 Holds.
Average price target of $201.88 (range: $170-$230) suggests modest upside from current levels, though the stock has already exceeded most estimates.
Weekly Outlook
Expect consolidation between $205-$210 as RSI indicators suggest cooling period needed. A sustained break above $210 could target the $220-$230 zone.
However, overbought conditions warrant caution for new entries. Watch for volume expansion on any pullback toward $200 support.
