Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson’s MedTech segment is entering a period of accelerated growth, driven by strong execution across its highest-potential categories. Cardiovascular, Robotics, and Vision. In Q3FY25, MedTech delivered 5.6% operational sales growth, marking one of its strongest quarters in recent years and reflecting broad momentum rather than isolated product outperformance.
UnitedHealth Group
UnitedHealth experienced above-trend growth in non-medical operating expenses, reflecting a combination of structural investment and inflationary overhead. The operating cost ratio reached 13.5% in Q3FY25, compared to 13.2% the previous year, despite company-wide efficiency programs.
Agilent Technologies
Agilent paid $71mn in cash dividends during Q3FY25. This represented a dividend of $0.248 per common share. During the same period, the company repurchased and retired 737,474 shares of its common stock for $85mn. These repurchases were executed under the 2023 repurchase program. This represents that Agilent Technologies is committed in returning to its shareholders.
Veeva Systems
The massive multi year migration of Veeva’s core CRM business from the Salesforce Platform to its proprietary Veeva Vault platform, which is expected to peak in FY26 and FY27, comes with operational risk. This migration can cause potential business disruptions for customers which may lead to the loss of customers to competitors.
Medtronic
Medtronic successfully reduced full year net tariff impact estimate from $200-350mn range to approximately $185mn through proactive supply chain optimization, production shifts across global manufacturing footprint and strategic sourcing adjustments.

Teva Pharmaceuticals
