ESTIMATED71% CONFIDENCEJ&J's 10-Q for the quarter to 28 June 2026 targets "completion within 18 to 24 months after the initial announcement" of 14 October 2025 (mid-April to mid-October 2027), and CFO Joseph Wolk said in July that J&J "is on track for a mid-2027 separation" (Bloomberg); "mid-2027" is read as the middle of the year, 1 July 2027, which sits inside that window.[1]
Johnson & Johnson's orthopaedics business is due to leave the group as DePuy Synthes - by tax-free spinoff or by sale, with Apollo in talks at about $20 billion - and J&J says it is on track for a mid-2027 separation.
