We don't have enough comparable filing data to score at least four of the five filters for JNJ, so we don't publish a composite. Missing: returnsOnCapital, balanceSheet. No composite: 2 components abstained (returnsOnCapital: Not enough years of ROIC data to score returns on capital.; balanceSheet: Insufficient leverage/coverage inputs to score the balance sheet.).

20 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Johnson & Johnson booked $94.2B of revenue in FY2025 in the Healthcare sector and kept 67.9% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 28.5% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $61.1B (FY2007) to $94.2B (FY2025) — about 2.4% a year compounded over 18 years.

ROIC is not available for the latest filed year, FY2025. Across the full 6-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was 21.9%.

The balance sheet carried $47.9B of total debt in FY2025 against $29.5B of owner earnings — roughly 1.6 years of owner earnings to retire it all.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.

The explained ROIC gaps have filed inputs but no meaningful positive invested-capital denominator. Other gaps mean the item is not in the filings for that year. The series is never interpolated or estimated. The Table view lists every filed value, including operating and net margins, total debt, and share count.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.

Records still being gathered — partial as of retrieval Oct 17, 2026.

6 filings were skipped because the SEC primary document returned 404; the omission is disclosed and aggregates are withheld.

Among the rows shown, A/F/M acquisition, payment or withholding, and exercise or conversion rows outnumber S sale rows (13 versus 9). The filing codes alone do not establish that every such row arose from a compensation plan.

Trailing-12-month totals and the 90-day cluster result are withheld because this issuer walk is incomplete.

Track record

How Johnson & Johnson’s moat rated in each of the years we can reconstruct from its filings — scored only on what was knowable at the time — and what its price and returns did afterward. The score never saw a price; the two are joined only in hindsight, for education, not as a signal.

Point-in-time scores 2011–2025, one methodology version · reconstructed from filings on file each Dec 31 — never with hindsight

Point-in-time Moat Score (dot colored by tier)Indexed price (total-return (dividends reinvested))Rated Wide-moat that year

How to read this: each dot is what the engine would have scored JNJ on that December 31; the line below is its total-return price path (dividends reinvested) in the years since.

0406080100WideNarrowShallowNo moatPoint-in-time Moat Score100200500Indexed price · log scale (2012 = 100)201120142017202020232026

Two tracks, one timeline: the score has its own 0–100 scale (top), the price its own 100-based scale (bottom) — never a shared axis. The price path is a total-return (dividends reinvested) index built from the same data the forward returns use; gaps in the score line are years with no reconstructed rating (see the table for why). The Table view carries every value.

What followed, in the years it rated Wide

In the 9 years JNJ rated Wide-moat (2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023), the median forward total return that followed — measured only after each year’s filings were public — was:

  • 1 year 7% vs the S&P 500’s 15% (price basis) · median over 9 years
  • 3 years 32% vs the S&P 500’s 34% (price basis) · median over 8 years
  • 5 years 65% vs the S&P 500’s 80% (price basis) · median over 6 years

These are medians computed from the data, not a claim about any one year. The company figures are total returns (dividends reinvested); the S&P 500 is the price-only ^GSPC index, which excludes dividends and so understates the index — the gap flatters the company. A quality rating is not a return forecast, and past returns don’t predict future ones. Educational only, not investment advice.

Healthcare context

Not ranked — JNJ doesn’t have enough comparable filing data for a composite score, so we don’t place it on the board.

Common questions about JNJ

Does Johnson & Johnson have an economic moat?
We don't publish a Moat Score for Johnson & Johnson (JNJ): its SEC filings don't provide enough comparable data to score at least four of the five filters, and the Index records each gap rather than a guessed number. Missing inputs: returns on capital, balance-sheet safety.
Is JNJ trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $113.49 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $255.56, that is 125% above value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
How has JNJ's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 33 readings since Jul 17, 2026, none with a composite — JNJ hasn't had enough comparable filing data to score. No tier changes on record yet. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 17, 2026, Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
