JNJ sits 61% above its 52-week low of $154.8.
Summary
Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes unit has acquired Expanding Innovations, a spine-focused medical device company. The deal adds to J&J's orthopedics portfolio, specifically in the expanding interbody implant space. Terms were not disclosed, but the acquisition aligns with J&J's strategy to strengthen its MedTech segment following strong Q2 results and raised guidance.
