Why Johnson & Johnson Stock Is Falling Even After a Guidance Hike

Johnson & Johnson raised its full-year guidance on the back of better-than-expected second-quarter earnings as strength in its oncology portfolio helped offset falling sales for its former blockbuster drug, Stelara. The drugmaker on Wednesday reported adjusted earnings of $2.90 a share, beating the $2.85 a share analysts had anticipated. J&J logged $25 billion in sales, in line with Wall Street estimates and up 6% from the same period last year.
