Johnson & Johnson reported earnings that beat analysts’ estimates on strong sales of pharmaceuticals, the company’s biggest division. Drugs including Stelara, a psoriasis drug, and Xarelto, a blood thinner, were among the company’s major drug products that surpassed analysts’ expectations.
Pharmaceutical sales have surpassed medical devices and consumer health products to become New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J’s biggest division.
