Goldman Sachs maintains a 'Buy' on Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), PT $77.

Goldman analyst said, "JNJ’s Pharma Analyst Day reinforced our conviction in JNJ as the best new product story in the global drug sector, given its dominant positions in the largest and fastest growing categories...What is more, JNJ is
stepping into a growth phase in this division while many of the large biotech companies’ growth engines are facing question marks. Based on our sum-of-the-parts analysis the biopharma business could trade at least at 13X and be worth $88 billion – larger than any of the large-cap biotech companies."
