Johnson & Johnson stock price holds near $238 after-hours as Supreme Court talc case move hits

New York, Feb 5, 2026, 19:10 EST — After-hours Johnson & Johnson shares jumped about 1.4% Thursday, then held steady after hours. The move came as the company asked the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on whether a shareholder lawsuit accusing it of misleading statements about talc safety can move forward as a class action. The petition seeks clarification on the court’s 2021 Goldman Sachs ruling, focusing on how “price impact” — whether alleged falsehoods affected stock prices — factors into certifying investor groups. JNJ last changed hands at $237.79, after trading between $233.33 and $240.00 during regular hours.

Bitcoin’s steep drop revives Fed QT fears — Binance Research calls the panic “overdone”

Bitcoin plunged roughly 16% on Thursday, dropping to near $61,350—its lowest point since late 2024—as the digital asset selloff intensified. Ether tumbled about 15%, slipping to approximately $1,812. The recent drop has put U.S. monetary policy under the microscope after President Donald Trump nominated former Fed governor Kevin Warsh to take the helm of the central bank once Jerome Powell’s term ends in May, subject to Senate approval. Investors are concerned Warsh might accelerate quantitative tightening, or QT — the Fed’s process of shrinking its bond holdings — which can sap liquidity and pressure speculative trades. https://www.reuters.com/business/boes-bailey-welcomes-warsh-trumps-choice-lead-us-fed-2026-02-05/
