Why 3M Shares Surged in December

Industrial giant 3M faces material legal headwinds today. 3M plans to spin off a sizable business to shareholders in 2024.

This Dow Jones Dividend King Will Be a Different Business in 2024. Is the Stock a Buy?

MMM management's drastic restructuring through the layoff of 9.2% of its FY2022 headcounts has worked as intended in boosting its bottom lines. This has directly contributed to its healthier balance sheet and improved shareholder returns through dividends/ share repurchases. Anyone concerned about MMM's legal headwinds may also be rest assured, with the latest developments from the ongoing Combat Arm earplug/ PFAS Public Water Systems settlement proving to be promising.

3M: Still A Buy Despite The Rebound

Due to massive pre-tax charges caused by two settlements, 3M Company had to report horrible results in the last two quarters. But it seems like the two major lawsuits - PFAS and earplugs - are close to being resolved and with payments stretched over several years, 3M Company will be fine. 3M Company will generate enough free cash flow to pay the fines and also be able to raise the dividend in the years to come.

3M Company: The Picture Is Getting A Bit Brighter

3M's stock has seen a turnaround, gaining 18% since September 2021, with potential for further upside. The company's valuation is currently low compared to historical levels, indicating potential for a significant increase in stock price. 3M's recent earnings report showed resilience in revenue performance and margin management, signaling stability and potential for sustained growth.
