Jim Cramer Notes Johnson & Johnson is “Really Bearing Down on High-Growth Pharma”

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently put under a microscope. Cramer said that “you’d do very well” owning the stock, as he stated:

“If you want to venture beyond what we call the CPG, consumer packaged goods, world, I think you’d do very well with owning J&J or Amgen… J&J’s getting out of everything non-proprietary, artificial joints for example, and really bearing down on high-growth pharma with cancer being a specialty… They both have yields, more than 2.7%. How strongly do I feel about these former safety stocks? We have a monthly investment club meeting on Thursday, and I’ve told Jeff Marks, my co-portfolio manager, that we at least have to put one of these names in the bullpen. I don’t want to wait to look back and say, how did we miss that bottom?”
