How it trades on rate days beta 0.31 to TLT · on the worst bond days it moved with the market

How it trades on rate days

How JNJ has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.31 — tends to move with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Johnson & Johnson moved 0.31% on average · correlation 0.15 · higher than 30% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.28 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.59% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +0.56% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Johnson & Johnson

JNJ in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Johnson & Johnson develops, makes and sells healthcare products worldwide through two arms: Innovative Medicine, covering prescription treatments for cancer, immune disease, infection and heart and metabolic conditions, and MedTech, covering surgical, orthopaedic, cardiovascular and vision products, including contact lenses and lenses used in cataract surgery. It sells through wholesalers, distributors, hospitals and clinicians rather than direct to patients in most cases. It is based in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Where it sits in the stack
The company carries no seat in our Rubin index, the diary's AI build-out gauge, so it sits outside that stack entirely. Within our wider universe it falls into the healthcare sector, drug manufacturers group, and the diary has grouped it among the slow-compounder names alongside consumer-staples and industrials peers in a covered-call income piece.
Who it is priced against
The diary has clustered it with other slow-moving dividend payers such as Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, 3M, Consolidated Edison, Abbott, Marsh McLennan, Emerson and Illinois Tool Works; the market's usual comparison beyond that list is Pfizer.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It sits in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and turns up repeatedly in the diary's Daily Pulse notes, most often flagged by the Pattern Scanner as a support-confluence setup in a yellow regime. It carries no Closelooknet score, so that read is still being built. Analysts covering it have raised their price target, per the diary's most recent reading.
What the diary watches
Whether it keeps appearing among the Pattern Scanner's support-confluence names alongside cyclical stocks like Northrop Grumman and McDonald's, which the diary reads as a signal that defensive positioning is broadening.
