Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 13 days.
The thesis — published November 8, 2025
J&J's share price looks beaten down, and investor mood is turning more positive. The FDA cleared DARZALEX Faspro for a high-risk early form of multiple myeloma, a real product win that could spark a short-term bounce. Drug pricing headlines may keep nerves high, but over the next 0-3 months strong drug makers often steady as the story becomes clearer. Start near today's price range and add only if the stock begins rising in a calmer, steadier way.
Primary drivers
- Stock has dropped a lot recently, which often precedes a quick snap-back move
- New FDA approval can draw fresh interest and lift demand in the near term
- Well-run drug company that often recovers after sharp declines in its shares
- Drug pricing news could unsettle investors and cause short-term ups and downs
