Johnson & Johnson Company Portfolio Analysis

SCENARIO

You work at Johnson & Johnson in the Accounting & Finance Department. You recently got promoted to CFO. Upon stepping into your new role, you have decided to clean your new office and remove what is not needed. You come across a financial proposal that the previous CFO was working on to purchase or merge with Bayer Pharmaceuticals. You know this is your major competitor which makes you wonder if the old CFO may have been on to the next profitable move. You decide to look at Johnson & Johnson’s current portfolio to decide if this would be an investment that would maximize the company’s returns and minimize the company’s portfolio risk even more.

***My teacher still gave me an F..I need you to please fix these things within the last paper you sent me…I will send you a great tip if you can get this all fixed and back to me tomorrow. My teacher wants the following things corrected:

1) what are the different markets that diversifies J&J’s portfolio?

2) please compare J&J against the s&P 500.

3) please organize your tables by rows – your tables are confusing – your tables should be included within the body of your paper.

4) I did not see where you identify J&J’s Beta value – did I overlook your Beta value?
