Johnson & Johnson Tuesday revised its full-year forecast, pointing to slightly higher sales and profit figures than the company had previously indicated.

J&J said it now estimates 2020 reported sales will be between $81.2 billion and $82 billion, which represents a range of a 1% decline to flat compared with last year's results. In July, J&J said it expected reported sales to decline between 0.8% and 2.6% year over year.

The New Brunswick, N.J.-based health-care company said it now expects adjusted earnings per share of between $7.95 and $8.05 for the full year. The company had previously forecast adjusted earnings per share of $7.75 to $7.95.
