Johnson & Johnson Q3 Earnings Show Revenue Growth, But MedTech Weakness Persists
What happened
Johnson & Johnson reported Q3 revenue of $25.4 billion, which was 5.9% higher than the same quarter last year, and earnings per share of $2.59, exceeding the consensus estimate. The company raised its full-year 2026 outlook to 6.7%–7.1% operational sales growth. However, MedTech grew only 2.5%, falling short of expectations.

Why it matters
While overall revenue grew, the MedTech segment showed weakness outside the U.S. Management attributed this slowdown to competitive pressure, procurement changes in China, disruption in the Middle East, and a decline in AbioMed.
