BREAKING: Johnson & Johnson to break into two, separating retail products business from prescription drugs and medical devices.

FILE - This Oct. 16, 2012 file photo shows the Johnson & Johnson logo on a package of Band-Aids, in St. Petersburg, Fla. Johnson & Johnson is splitting into two companies, separating the division that sells Band-Aids and Listerine, from its medical device and prescription drug business. The company selling prescription drugs and medical devices will keep Johnson & Johnson as its name, the company said Friday, Nov. 12, 2021.

The new consumer health company will house brands including Neutrogena, Aveeno, Tylenol, Listerine, Johnson’s, and Band-Aid. It is expected to generate revenue of approximately $15 billion for the year. A name was not disclosed for the new company.

How are we to tell them apart?!?

relevant tbh

screwing people out of insulin just too big a job, eh?

So one Johnson gets the retail products and the other Johnson gets the prescription drugs and medical devices?

I guess either way, you'll get a Johnson.

Hmmm, so will you take Johnson or Johnson after the stock split?

Penis & Penis

Yea - social distancing of profit and non profit making entities.........

Katie porter for president 2024!!! Imagine her bringing truth to power

Serious question. If you own J&J stock what occurs here?

This only makes sense if they have lawsuits on the way

Is this because if they get sued for shitty vaccines then they won't loose the whole buisness? Split in 2 to get to keep 1.. I see the play here

What will that do to those of us who own stock in J&J?

Nice, two Johnson’s are better than one 😆

One’s called Johnson and the other Johnson

'Give me the vaccine Lebowski or we cut off your Johnson'

More like they're getting rid of the retail part.

One half will be called Johnson and the other Johnson I’m guessing 👀

Called 'Johnson' and 'Johnson' respectively.

The companies shall be called 'Johnson' and also 'Johnson'

So Johnson & Johnson?

so only 1 half gets sued at a time huh

How are we going to know which Johnson is which?!

I wonder which part will get to keep the &
