Johnson and Johnson Dividend Stock Analysis
I've been meaning to revisit my analysis on Johnson and Johnson since it's been a year since I first looked at them. I've learned so much more about stock analysis in that time so this will be more thorough and hopefully more insightful. They are a dividend champion with 50 consecutive years of increasing dividends. J&J closed trading on Wednesday, April 3rd at $82.07.
