Top 5 investments: Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson is a founding EPA Green Power Partner and has gotten green power awards from the EPA since 2002. J&J is committed to reducing its carbon dioxide emissions to 7% below its 1990 levels by 2010.
As a company J&J's product lines are strong with 70% of them number one or number two in the marketplace. J&J closed on Friday at $67.59, but analysts expect its price to go back up to between $73.55 and $80. Like many U.S. stocks J&J was beaten down, but its investors did see some profit. It's price in January 2007 was $65.14 and its dividend per share went up from 37.5 cents in February to 41.5 cents for all other 2007 quarters.
Analysts expect strong annual sales growth at 7% per year with star product lines in medical devices and consumer health care divisions to offset what they expect could be a rough ride in the pharmaceutical side of J&J's business.
