J&J Falls After Failing to Block Generic Zytiga Cancer Drug

Johnson & Johnson's stock drops to pace Dow decliners after appeals court ruling on Zytiga disappoints
Shares of Johnson & Johnson fell 3.3% in afternoon trade, enough to pace declines among its health care peers and among the Dow Jones Industrial Average's components, after reports that an appeals court ruled that J&J can't block sales of generic Zytiga while the company appeals the overturning of a Zytiga patent. In J&J's third-quarter ended Sept. 30, Zytiga sales rose 43.2% from a year ago to $958 million, making it the company's third-highest selling drug. Jennifer Taubert, worldwide chairman of pharmaceuticals at J&J, said in the company's post-earnings conference call with analysts while the company was "pleased" with Zytiga, "we're absolutely not dependent on it," according to a transcript provided by FactSet. The company said total pharmaceutical operational sales growth was 8.2%, but if Zytiga was removed, growth would have still been a "really strong" 6.6%. The stock has still gained 4.6% over the past three months, while the SPDR Health Care Select Sector ETF has slipped 1.7% and the Dow has lost 4.6%.

Capitalism Is Working in the U.S.
It remains the most referenced guide to prosperity because of its moral force: Smith said the freest markets are led by an invisible hand benefiting everyone, not just the individuals and companies motivated by their own profit.

5 Dow Stocks to Sell (And 2 to Buy)
Most stocks have been thoroughly shaken and stirred since early October, and a long-overdue corrective move finally took shape. Not even the bluest of the blue chips have been immune. The Dow Jones Industrial Average still is off its record high from a couple months ago, and several Dow stocks still are vulnerable to more selling. The initial shellshock has started to fade, however, the smoke is clearing and some stocks are recovering. Smart investors are now weighing the impact and searching for opportunities. Some Dow Jones stocks may have more downside to dish out, but a handful of these iconic names are looking oversold, undervalued and ripe for a rebound sooner than later. Remember: Corporate earnings have never been better, and consumer confidence is as high as it's been in years. Clearly something is going right. Here's a look at five Dow stocks that may have more ground to give up before they hit bottom, and two industrial-average components that may already be buys at current prices. But a note: Most of these "stocks to sell" are merely in short-term trouble. A sizable pullback from any of them could ultimately turn into a buying opportunity.
