Pharmaceuticals 11 January 2026 - 12 January 2026

Shares of Johnson & Johnson dipped 0.7% on Friday to $204.39 following the company's announcement of a deal with the Trump administration to lower U.S. drug prices. In return, J&J secured exemptions from certain U.S. tariffs. The company said it will offer medicines at discounted rates via TrumpRx.gov and match Medicaid pricing levels seen in other developed countries, though it did not specify which drugs would be involved or the exact discount sizes. The administration made similar deals with nine other pharmaceutical firms in December as part of its effort to close the gap that leaves U.S. patients paying nearly three times more than those abroad.
