How important is it?
While the legal dispute could increase short-term volatility and investor concern, JNJ's overall strong fundamentals and diversified portfolio mitigate long-term risks.
Why Short Term?
Legal disputes typically cause immediate market jitters; however, long-term fundamentals remain strong if resolved favorably.
