On CAPS, 96.5% of the 12,955 members who have rated Johnson & Johnson believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star thievaryx, ranked in the top 10% of our community, and lelandwalker.

Just today, thievaryx argued that Johnson & Johnson's recent recall of some children's medicines would be a short-term blip: "World class company that has been beaten up from the mismanagement of the phantom recall. [J&J] will makes this right and be stronger for it. In the meantime, smile and collect a 3.7% yield that grows almost 10% per annum."

In a pitch from last month, lelandwalker points out why Johnson & Johnson is a compelling long-term buy:

Solid, well managed business. Relatively low priced, pays fair dividends. Although historically price has been more volatile than the indices, over the long haul it has out performed. The company has good numbers (profit margin, revenue, income), stable product line, and some groundbreaking efforts in Alzheimer's treatment Therefore, I expect it to continue to outperform in the long run.
