Johnson & Johnson stock: Talc-court twist and EU drug nod set up next week

Johnson & Johnson stock: Talc-court twist and EU drug nod set up next week

New York, January 31, 2026, 10:29 EST — The market has closed. Johnson & Johnson shares edged down 3 cents to $227.25 on Friday after a U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit accusing the company of fraud related to its talc bankruptcy approach. The plaintiffs claimed J&J employed a “Texas two-step,” moving talc liabilities into a subsidiary that filed for bankruptcy to stall cancer lawsuits. Judge Michael Shipp ruled they hadn’t proven any real harm caused by the delay. J&J’s litigation head Erik Haas slammed the claims as “wholly meritless,” while the plaintiffs’ attorney said they’re considering an appeal.

Eli Lilly stock price (LLY): $3.5B plant, EU Mounjaro call and earnings ahead — what to watch

New York, Jan 31, 2026, 09:59 EST — The market has closed. Shares of Eli Lilly finished Friday up about 1.3%, closing at $1,037.15. The boost came after the company unveiled a $3.5 billion plan for a new manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania. This plant will produce injectable weight-loss drugs, including retatrutide—a next-gen medication Lilly says has outperformed Zepbound. “All these sites, including this one, will be really state of the art manufacturing to last many decades to come,” CEO David Ricks said in Allentown. Drugmakers like Pfizer and Merck & Co are also expanding U.S. capacity amid Donald Trump’s threat of import tariffs. Meanwhile, Lilly is racing Novo Nordisk for U.S. approval of an oral weight-loss pill, which it plans to price at $150 a month and launch in several countries.

  • Buffett Flags Market Valuation Risks, Sees Speculative Trading Spike
    July 5, 2026, 1:41 AM EDT. Warren Buffett on Saturday called out what he sees as high valuations in the U.S. stock market, saying some investors are "playing with fire." At the Berkshire Hathaway 2026 shareholder meeting, Buffett pointed to what he called an unusual jump in speculative trading and warned against excessive risk-taking. He said long-term investors who stick to 401(k) contributions face less risk than those piling into costly growth stocks or trading with leveraged ETFs and options. Buffett also noted the Shiller CAPE ratio is near record highs, backing up his warning on valuations. He voiced concerns about the fast growth of complex ETFs and income products pitching ultra-high yields, tying those to a broader surge in speculative trading.
