Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)

[Schildkröte]

Ist ja nett, wenn sie weiter auf Verschlankung und Renditeoptimierung setzen. Aber an sich ist Johnson & Johnson ein defensives Investment. Da ist eine große, ausgewogene Diversifikation innert des Produktportfolios meines Erachtens wichtiger als Rendite um jeden Preis. Wer sowas will, für den gibt es am Aktienmarkt genügend Alternativen.

J&J reaches sweeping talc deal that could end decade of litigation

 

Zitat

Johnson & Johnson said on Monday it would pay an estimated $5.5 billion to resolve tens of thousands of lawsuits alleging its baby powder and other talc products cause ovarian cancer, in a landmark deal that could end a contentious legal battle that has dogged the company for a decade. 

J&J said the settlement covers about 76,000 claims, including ones consolidated in federal court in New Jersey, and related cases in state court, representing nearly all of the remaining talc claims against the company. 

J&J previously settled most of the cases alleging that ⁠its ‌talc contained asbestos and caused mesothelioma.

Plaintiffs’ law firms confirmed the deal on Monday, ⁠saying it was a good resolution after a decade-long court battle. The deal must be accepted by 95% of the ovarian cancer claimants in state or federal court before it becomes final.

J&J expects to pay $3 billion in 2027, and it will make further payments in 2028. But the deal could be worth more, depending on how many people participate in the settlement. Chris Seeger, an attorney who represents about 2,500 clients with talc claims and helped negotiate the agreement, said J&J could ultimately pay $7 billion ⁠or more. 

The settlement assigns specific values to qualifying ovarian cancer claims but does not cap J&J’s total payout, he said. “We got a fair settlement, and ‌our clients are going to be happy with it,” Seeger said in an interview.
