Analysts' Views Ahead of JNJ's Q1 Earnings
Ahead of Johnson & Johnson's Q1 earnings, Bank of America Securities analyst Tim Anderson maintained his Hold rating on the stock and decreased the price target from $171 to $159 per share, citing concerns over new tariffs.
For Q1, the firm retained its revenue forecast but expects earnings to decrease by 2% due to expected pressure on profit margins and higher costs. Looking ahead to 2025, BofA expects modest revenue growth from new products and recent acquisitions. However, he believes earnings may dip slightly due to currency headwinds and acquisition-related dilution.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs analyst Asad Haider upgraded JNJ from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target to $172 from $157. He believes worries about the loss of patent protection for drugs like Stelara are overdone. According to him, JNJ's Innovative Medicine unit, which brings in most of the company's profits, should continue to perform well.

Former UFC fighters file lawsuits, alleging the MMA promotion restricts their earning potential
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two former UFC fighters have filed antitrust lawsuits against the mixed-martial arts behemoth, alleging it operates as a monopoly that restricts their ability to maximize earnings. Phil Davis and Mikhail Cirkunovs, who fought under the name Misha Cirkunov, filed their lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Nevada against the Las Vegas-based UFC. Cirkunovs' complaint was filed on May 23, and Davis' was filed six days later. Philadelphia-based Berger Montague, which is represented locally by Las Vegas' Claggett and Sykes, is the law firm for both fighters. A message left with the Las Vegas firm on Monday was not immediately returned. Cirkunovs is seeking $75,000 in damages. Davis didn't specify how much money he is suing for. The UFC reached a $375 million settlement in September in a class-action antitrust lawsuit brought by Cung Le, who filed his claim in 2014. The UFC has not reached an agreement with Kajan Johnson, who filed his lawsuit in 2021. Both recent complaints made references to the Johnson case, with the Cirkunovs' suit saying they were similar. 'In previous hearings, Plaintiffs' own counsel expressed strong concerns to the Court about the weaknesses of the Johnson claims,' the UFC said in a statement. 'This new complaint (Cirkunovs) confirms that the plaintiffs in the Johnson case lack the standing to represent the proposed class. 'In addition, it confirms that the majority of fighters signed class-action waivers and agreed to arbitrate their claims instead of resorting to court procedures. We are confident that the facts and the law are on our side in opposing approval of both of these proposed classes.' Davis fought in the UFC from 2010-15 before signing with Bellator MMA, which became the Professional Fighters League this year. He argues that the UFC's presence prevents fighters who aren't even in the organization from receiving competitive wages. Cirkunovs was in the UFC from 2015-22. ___ AP sports:

Curt Johnson named general manager of Denver's NWSL team
DENVER (AP) — Former North Carolina Courage executive Curt Johnson was named Thursday as the general manager of the National Women's Soccer League expansion team in Denver. Johnson stepped down as chief soccer officer and general manager of the Courage in December. He will oversee all of the soccer operations for the new Denver club, which will kick off next year. 'He brings championship-level experience, a collaborative spirit, and a clear passion for growing the game,' Denver controlling owner Rob Cohen said in a statement on Thursday. 'He's been a part of building some of the most successful organizations in our sport, and we're thrilled to have him shaping the future of our club.' As chief soccer officer for the Courage from 2017-24, Johnson oversaw a club that won two NWSL championships and three NWSL Shields. He previously worked with North Carolina FC and with Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer. Johnson has a tight timeline. Denver was named the NWSL's 16th team in December and will kickoff next spring. The team will play in a temporary home for two seasons before moving to a new 14,500-seat purpose-built stadium in 2028. ___ AP soccer:
