3mo agoStructure Overview
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is a Dividend King with over 60 consecutive years of dividend increases, now focused entirely on pharmaceutical and medical device segments following the Kenvue consumer health spin-off. The pharmaceutical focus adds pipeline risk but also higher margin potential compared to consumer-only peers.
Canadian Planning Notes
- 1JNJ's Kenvue spin-off in 2023 changed the portfolio; plan around post-spin JNJ metrics and verify the current dividend payout ratio for the reorganized pharmaceutical/medtech business.
- 2RRSP placement shelters U.S. withholding tax; TFSA and non-registered accounts incur the 15% withholding.
- 3USD denomination requires a CAD/USD conversion assumption for Canadian income planning; use quarterly dividends per share and a conservative exchange rate.
