3M has been a hard stock to love in recent years, and year-end results provided no straightforward path to recovery. Significant uncertainty remains around litigation settlements and how they will be funded.

Why 3M Stock Plunged in January

3M's stock price has declined over 60% since 2018 highs. These price declines happen for a reason and they should not be dismissed as only good entry points. Weak earnings report, poor outlook, and numerous lawsuits reinforce the fact that a dividend cut is recommended to help the company's recovery efforts. The dividend yield sits at a high of 6.3%. The payout ratio is sustainable for now but when the settlements are due to be paid out, the sustainability may change.
