Johnson & Johnson stock price: JNJ closes lower after talc fraud suit tossed — what investors watch next

New York, January 29, 2026, 21:37 EST — Market closed. Johnson & Johnson shares edged down 0.19% to close at $227.29 on Thursday. The drop came after a U.S. judge dismissed a fraud lawsuit targeting the company’s "Texas two-step" strategy, which involves moving talc liabilities into a subsidiary that then files for bankruptcy. U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp ruled the plaintiffs failed to prove they were harmed by the bankruptcy stays that paused cases from October 2021 through March 2025. J&J’s litigation head, Erik Haas, called the claims “wholly meritless.” During the session, the stock hit $230 and last changed hands at $227.98 in after-hours trading.

  • Alimentation Couche-Tard Q4 tops with $19.5B revenue, buybacks drive EPS, but risk over gas demand hangs on stock
    July 5, 2026, 4:48 PM EDT. Alimentation Couche-Tard turned in Q4 revenue of US$19.5 billion and net income of US$863.4 million. For the full year, sales came in at US$76.5 billion and net income reached US$3.14 billion. Couche-Tard finished a buyback of almost 30 million shares for CA$1.59 billion, set for completion by April 2026, as management keeps a line on profitability and capital discipline. The buyback helps lift EPS and supports the share price, but investors are still cautious about long-term risks. Analysts' fair value calls are all over the map, ranging from CA$77 to CA$148, showing doubts tied to falling gasoline demand and changes in consumer behavior. The company sees potential for more, with a forecast for revenue to rise to US$83.6 billion and net income to US$3.6 billion by 2029, but sector headwinds still weigh.
