The Duato case, 20 quarters out

Each segment is projected from its own operating driver, rolled up into consolidated cash flow, and discounted back to a fair value per share. The assumptions below are editable — change them and every number on this page moves with them.

Eight verticals: the four Innovative Medicine therapeutic areas and the four MedTech franchises that J&J publishes every quarter in the Exhibit 99.2 segment sales schedule. They sum to reported consolidated revenue within $2M in all fourteen quarters - $16,384M plus $8,926M is exactly the $25,310M reported for 2026 Q2 - so no quarter is padded and none is estimated. Only Other Innovative Medicine is apportioned, as the segment total less the three named areas, and it cross-checks to J&J's separately printed PH, ID and CVM subtotal within $2M every quarter. Disclosed and copied as reported: every franchise revenue line, both segments' income before tax, D&A and additions to PP&E, guidance, shares, cash and debt. Derived: segment EBITDA margins (Innovative Medicine 42.9% and MedTech 23.8% for 1H26), capex intensity, net debt of $28.3B and the seasonal factors. Assumed and labelled as such: every forward growth rate, the terminal margins of 44.0% and 26.0%, the twelve-quarter margin glide, the 8% discount rate, the 13.0x exit multiple, the $300M-a-quarter normalised corporate run-rate and the eight-quarter talc duration. Impossible to split honestly and therefore not attempted: franchise-level profit, capex and D&A - J&J publishes none of them, so each franchise carries its parent segment's margin unchanged. Corporate overhead of 1.2% of revenue is the 2026 Q2 unallocated expense of $679M less the disclosed $0.4B talc charge; the $258M of Orthopaedics separation cost in the same quarter sits inside that same unallocated line and is not added again. The model is GAAP-shaped, while J&J's guidance and the published consensus are both adjusted, so the guided sales range is the only guidance figure this model is checked against. Two limitations to read alongside the output: MedTech Orthopaedics stays consolidated for all twenty quarters even though the separation is targeted for 2027, and the share count is held flat at 2,409,898,597 because the only disclosed repurchases fund compensation plans and the diluted count rose year over year.

The claim under test, in the CEO's own words: more than $100B of annual revenue in 2026 for the first time in 140 years, and compounding toward double-digit growth by the end of the decade. The first half needs almost nothing - the base case already prints $101.25B for FY2026 - so this case only raises terminal growth, by 1.2 points a quarter across every line, plus half a point of margin and a 16.0x exit, for a fair value of $296.16. What it does not achieve is the second half: even at these settings FY2030 grows 9.7% over FY2029, still short of double digits, and the double-digit extension is a secondary-sourced call quote rather than a filed statement.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Eight consecutive quarters of 17-23% year-over-year growth. This one line added $1,094M of the company's $1,567M year-over-year revenue increase in 2026 Q2, derived from the disclosed franchise figures.
  • Left aseasonal on the research finding: the measured amplitude of 3.3% barely clears a 2.1% worst-quarter window spread, and launch cadence is trend rather than calendar.
  • The sequential rate decays from 3.8% to about 2.2% by 2030, about 9% a year. Holding the disclosed 21.4% trailing-twelve-month rate flat for twenty quarters would add about $40B of annual revenue that nothing in the filings supports.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Management framed the drag two ways on the 15 July 2026 call, a secondary transcript: about 460bp on total-company operational growth, and STELARA at only 4% of Innovative Medicine sales in the quarter. The release itself puts the STELARA drag at about 760bp of segment growth.
  • Seasonality is applied here on the research recommendation: amplitude 14.6% against a 4.6% worst-quarter spread, repeated in all three windows. Part of the 0.915 Q1 factor is the January gross-to-net and payer reset, and part is the STELARA step-down landing in the same quarter.
  • The quarterly path is a decline plus a seasonal shape plus a cliff. Separating them is the single largest modelling judgement in this ticker, and the model resolves it by decaying the sequential rate from -0.3% up toward +1.2%.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • 2025 Q1 $1,647M to 2025 Q2 $2,051M is the Intra-Cellular and CAPLYTA acquisition, closed April 2025, not organic acceleration. Year-over-year comparisons become clean only from 2026 Q2.
  • Left aseasonal: the Q1 window spread of 11.6% is larger than the whole 8.3% amplitude, because the acquisition step sits inside the sample. That is an acquisition date, not a calendar.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • This line is the only apportioned figure in the model: Innovative Medicine total less Oncology, Immunology and Neuroscience. It cross-checks to J&J's separately printed TOTAL PH, ID, CVM subtotal within $2M in all fourteen quarters, so it is a subtraction of disclosed numbers rather than an estimate.
  • Pulmonary hypertension, infectious disease and cardiovascular and metabolism: XARELTO, UPTRAVI, OPSUMIT and the HIV book, running $2.8-2.9B a quarter for eight quarters. Left aseasonal because the 3.5% amplitude is inside a 4.7% window spread.

  • Left aseasonal: the 4.5% amplitude is inside a 5.3% worst-quarter spread, and the Shockwave close in May 2024 sits exactly on the Q2 index that the measured shape leans on.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • J&J announced its intention to separate Orthopaedics in October 2025, with targeted completion 18 to 24 months after that announcement and the structure not yet chosen. The base case keeps the line consolidated for the whole horizon because FY2026 guidance still includes it.
  • If the separation completes on schedule, roughly the $10.4B this model projects for FY2028 and its MedTech margin leave the consolidated entity. Nothing in this model removes them, so read every year after 2027 as a pre-separation figure.
  • Seasonality applied with the research's caveat: the Q3 trough of 0.967 carries only a 1.3% spread and matches the European summer elective slowdown, but the Q1 factor's 4.3% spread makes this vector weaker than Surgery's.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • ACUVUE contact lenses plus surgical vision, the most consumer-like and most currency-exposed MedTech line, growing +6.0% year over year and +7.3% on a trailing-twelve-month basis.
  • Left aseasonal: the 2.7% amplitude is well inside a 5.2% worst-quarter window spread, so any shape asserted here would be noise.

Valuation

From cash flow to fair value

Present value of free cash flow, 20 quarters$132.44B
Terminal-year revenue$149.68B
Terminal-year EBITDA$55.98B
Exit multiple, on ebitda16.0x
Terminal value$895.65B
Discounted at 8.0% a year, terminal value becomes$609.56B
Enterprise value$742.00B
Net cash-$28.28B
Equity value$713.72B
Shares2.41B
Fair value per share$296.16
Against the current price of $265.77+11%

8% is a conservative round WACC for a balance sheet at about 1.5x net debt to EBITDA with an equity beta near 0.6. The 13.0x exit is where the argument sits: large-cap pharma and medtech trade at 11-16x, while this model's own annualised basis-quarter EBITDA of $35.4B against an enterprise value of $686.2B is 19.4x. Taking 13x rather than 19x is most of what produces a base fair value of $219.68 against a $273.04 price. No comparable-company multiple set was verified from primary filings in the research pass, so the exit is explicitly a sensitivity: the bear runs 11.0x, the bull 15.0x and the named case 16.0x, and the $170.79 to $296.16 spread is largely that one input.

Read the other way round: at $265.77 the market is paying 14.1x terminal-year revenue, holding every other assumption on this page fixed. That is the number to argue about.

Capital programmes

Capex outside the verticals

Each vertical's capex is a share of its own revenue, which is the right shape for capacity that scales with sales. These are not that: fixed-size programmes with their own schedule that spend whether or not any segment grows. They are added on top, and they are why free cash flow dips in the years below.

Talc settlement charges

2026 Q3 → 2028 Q2
Programme total$3.20B
Cash out$400M/qtr

Talc runs through unallocated corporate rather than either segment, and its sign has flipped once in five quarters: a $0.4B charge in 2026 Q2 and $0.8B in 1H26 against roughly $7.0B of reserve reversal in 1H25. The $0.4B quarterly run-rate is disclosed; holding it for eight quarters and then stopping is an assumption, and $3.2B is the total that assumption implies.
