Median forward return, share of positive outcomes, and the count of independent (non-overlapping) windows. Fewer than 10 reads as insufficient; 10 to 14 is marked thin. JNJ history from January 3, 2006, data through September 4, 2026. Historical base rates, not a forecast.

Every trading day the market regime sits in one of five bands, from Risk-Off to Risk-On. This page asks one question about JNJ: historically, when the market was in each band, what did JNJ do next? These are descriptions of what has happened, not predictions of what will. A median is a typical past outcome, and any single instance can land far from it.

For an individual stock the regime is usually a small nudge, not the main driver; the stock's own trend dominates. Treat this as context among many inputs, not a reason to act. Method and market-level base rates are on Returns by Regime; the bigger picture is in the Dead Zone.
