revenue grows at a 3% CAGR from 2022 вЂ“ 2031 (equal to consensus estimate CAGR from 2022 вЂ“ 2024), then.

NOPAT margin falls to 22.3% (three-year average) from 2022 вЂ“ 2031, and.

In this scenario, Johnson & Johnson earns $19.5 billion in NOPAT in 2031, which is 10% below its 2021 NOPAT. The stock is worth $185/share today вЂ“ equal to the current stock price. 2022 вЂ“ 2024 consensus estimate CAGR of +3%) compounded annually from 2022 вЂ“ 2031, then

NOPAT margin falls to 21.7% (five-year average vs.

Such an assumption seems overly pessimistic, given the company grew NOPAT by 5% compounded annually over the past decade.Д«elow I use my reverse discounted cash flow (DCF) model to analyze two future cash flow scenarios and highlight the upside potential in Johnson & JohnsonвЂ™s current stock price.ДCF Scenario 1: to Justify the Current Stock Price of $186/share.

Johnson & JohnsonвЂ™s PEBV ratio of 0.9 means the stock is priced for profits to permanently fall 10% below 2021 levels.

with health insurance rose from 244 million in 2001 to ~301 million in 2021 and is expected to reach ~319 million in 2030.ДЄ Strong Performer in Multiple Environments In the U.S., the number of individuals 65 and over is expected to grow from 54 million in 2020 to 65 million by 2025.ДЄdditionally, the growing number of people covered by health insurance contributes to higher healthcare expenditures. is aging, and that trend will drive increased healthcare expenditures, including pharmaceuticals, for individuals 65 and over. Long-term Tailwinds Will Drive Pharmaceutical DemandДЇavorable demographic and health insurance coverage trends will drive continued demand for pharmaceuticals over the long run. The companyвЂ™s pharmaceutical and medical devices segments are focused on ten different therapeutic and product areas, the largest of which, Oncology, accounts for just ~19% of total revenue. By separating the consumer health segment from the rest of the business, Johnson & Johnson hopes to become even more profitable over the long run.ДЄfter the separation, Johnson & Johnson will remain a highly diversified business. While the companyвЂ™s reported earnings before tax rose from $17.7 billion in 2017 to $22.8 billion in 2021, earnings before tax from the consumer health segment fell from $2.5 billion to $1.3 billion over the same time.

In November of 2021, Johnson & Johnson announced plans to spin off its consumer health segment, which raised concerns that the company will become overly concentrated in the remaining lines of business.
