Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) (CNBC)
Shares of Johnson & Johnson turned negative as investors reacted to a lackluster sales growth outlook. The company topped Wall Street’s fourth-quarter earnings and revenue expectations with boosts from new cancer drugs and its acquisition of Swiss biotech company Actelion. In its earnings release, the company projected operational revenue growth of 3.5 percent to 4.5 percent.

Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG) (CNBC)
Procter & Gamble beat expectations on both the top and bottom line in its second quarter of 2018, showing recovery after organic sales lost steam in the first quarter of its fiscal year. But the company still found itself victim to the intensifying retail landscape, which contributed to declines in both its diaper and Gillette shaving business. P&G backed its sales forecast for the year but raised its estimate for core earnings per share growth for fiscal 2018 to a range of 5 percent to 8 percent from a prior range of 5 percent to 7 percent. Shares were down 1.28 percent in premarket trading.
