I have a sense of an early J&J, before they lost their way

When I look at a StockChart graph comparing BRK/B and JNJ over the last 10-20 years, I find that JNJ has performed as well as BRK/B plus delivered a dividend along the way. And it has only been the last few years that BRK caught up with JNJ. I own both and find that JNJ provides a welcome cushion during market downturns.

So I'm curious. Does "lost their way" represent a forward looking judgment? Or recent concerns?
