Led by the performance of blood cancer treatment Darzalex, Johnson & Johnson is projecting sales to reach the $100 billion-mark in 2026. The company is thriving despite rapidly declining sales of Stelara, which now faces biosimilar competition. In 2022, Pfizer became the first biopharma company to generate annual revenue of $100 billion. With COVID products accounting for 57% of its sales, it was evident that Pfizer’s revenue surge was a one-year outlier.Four years later, however, Johnson & Johnson may be on its way to reaching the $100 billion mark—and this time the achievement appears more sustainable.On Wednesday, the company beat out analyst expectations by projecting (PDF) that 2026 revenue will reach a range of $100 billion to $101 billion. With J&J also forecasting double-digit revenue increases by the end of the decade, the drugmaker may be on its way to kicking off a $100-billion-plus annual sales streak. During a conference call Wednesday, CEO Joaquin Duato called 2025 a “catapult year” for the company, as it increased sales by 6% to $94.2 billion. And a 9% uptick in sales in the fourth quarter indicates that the momentum is building, according to the helmsman. “It was a year that launched us into a new era of accelerated growth,” Duato said. “Fueled by the strongest portfolio and pipeline in our history, Johnson & Johnson has a leading and expanding position in each of our six key businesses—oncology, immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular, surgery and vision.”Duato cited the depth of J&J's portfolio, which includes 20 blockbuster products. “We are different from other companies,” he said. “We are not focused on one or two growth drivers.” For one major J&J catalyst, look no further than multiple myeloma treatment Darzalex, which achieved (PDF) sales of $14.4 billion for 2025, $3.9 billion of which arrived in Q4. The monoclonal antibody has now blown away its peak sales projection of $13 billion, which was viewed as a best-case scenario in 2017 by Jan van de Winkel, the CEO of Genmab, which partnered with J&J on the development of Darzalex in 2012.Darzalex has thrived in part because of a 2020 nod for Darzalex Faspro, a subcutaneous version of the treatment that allows patients to receive doses in minutes compared to hours for the intravenous administration. While J&J has not secured an FDA expansion for the treatment since 2020, Darzalex is helping advance another of J&J’s cancer treatments, Tecvayli. When combined with Darzalex, the bispecific BCMA-directed CD3 T-cell engager reduced the risk of death by 54% over Darzalex and the steroid dexamethasone in J&J's late-stage MajesTEC-3 study.“The FDA was so impressed with our Majestic-3 data that unsolicited, they contacted us and offered a priority review voucher to accelerate bringing this new regimen to patients,” J&J’s R&D chief John Reed said during the conference call.Generating more than twice the revenue of any other J&J product, Darzalex is key to J&J’s expectation that its oncology portfolio can deliver $50 billion in sales by the end of the decade, up from the $25.4 billion it generated last year.Duato said the $50 billion projection is “sustained by our success in multiple myeloma," and "also in solid tumors with lung cancer, prostate cancer and bladder cancer.” The performance of Darzalex and J&J’s other growth drivers has allowed the company to thrive despite the rapid decline of Stelara, which now faces biosimilar competition. Sales for the autoimmune superstar fell 41%, from $10.4 billion in 2024 to $6.1 billion last year.Other J&J growth drivers include immunology standout Tremfya, which grew sales 40% to roughly $5.2 billion last year, and neuroscience leader Spravato, which increased its sales by 57% to $1.7 billion in 2025. In oncology, multiple myeloma CAR-T Carvykti not only broke the blockbuster barrier, but nearly doubled its sales last year to $1.9 billion, while prostate cancer treatment Erleada was up 19% at $3.6 billion.

Innovative Medicine Innovative Medicine worldwide operational sales grew 5.3%*, with net acquisitions and divestitures positively impacting growth by 1.2% primarily due to CAPLYTA. Growth was driven primarily by DARZALEX, CARVYKTI, ERLEADA, and RYBREVANT/LAZCLUZE in Oncology, TREMFYA and SIMPONI/SIMPONI ARIA in Immunology, and SPRAVATO in Neuroscience. Growth was partially offset by an approximate (1,040) basis points impact from STELARA in Immunology. MedTech MedTech worldwide operational sales grew 5.4%*, with net acquisitions and divestitures positively impacting growth by 1.1% primarily due to Shockwave. Growth was driven primarily by electrophysiology products and Abiomed in Cardiovascular and wound closure products in General Surgery. Full-year 2026 guidance: Johnson & Johnson does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, and purchase accounting fair value adjustments without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Johnson & Johnson's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

This resulted in the exit of certain programs within therapeutic areas. The R&D program exits were primarily in infectious diseases and vaccines including the discontinuation of its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) adult vaccine program, hepatitis and HIV development. The restructuring expense of $102 million in fiscal 2024 included the termination of partnered and non-partnered program costs, asset impairments and asset divestments. This program was completed in Q4 2024. In fiscal 2023, the company initiated a restructuring program of its Orthopaedics franchise within the MedTech segment to streamline operations by exiting certain markets, product lines and distribution network arrangements. The restructuring expense of $162 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025 ($307 million Q4 2025 YTD) and $60 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 ($167 million Q4 2024 YTD) primarily includes costs related to market and product exits. This program was substantially completed in Q4 2025.
