This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

The recent analysis on 3M Co. (MMM-N) presents a divided opinion among experts. One reviewer expresses optimism about the stock, highlighting the potential improvements under the new CEO who is actively working to turn the company around. This perspective anticipates a positive performance in the upcoming quarter, suggesting a favorable outlook for investors. Conversely, another expert advises taking profits, arguing that despite some clouds clearing, 3M now resembles a lower-growth multi-industrial company. They recommend considering investments in more robust industrial companies, specifically naming Honeywell (HON) as a more structurally sound alternative. This illustrates a notable divergence in sentiment, reflecting caution against complacency in a sector that may have better opportunities elsewhere.

Not so high on this one. Trouble getting traction. Exposed to the global economy. Revenues for 2021 will be lower than in 2018. Profitability metrics are challenged. PFAS lawsuit is building steam, which could be as big as asbestos or lead in paint issues.

The shares broke down below some strong support and then bounced off one of his break points. It has only bounced back to its fair market value. The problem is that the fair market value and the earnings have been slipping for two years. It is not a COVID-19 issue. He does not think there is much in it for you.

You need more cash than debt for the dividend to be safe, in general. If you can get it for 3 to 5 years, you are holding a national champion. If you are fixed on just near term income, then perhaps it is not for you.

Multi-dimensional company. Had a nice multiple and consistent earnings. In last little while, it's become more cyclical. Missed numbers, which is a makeup of their products. Earnings quality has fallen. Don't own it until you see more stability in company direction. You can own it cheaper. Decent yield of 3.6%.

It's an underperforming industrial stock that has stumbled in recent years. The nail in the coffin for him is that a carcinogenic chemical in many of its products is leading to lawsuits which he fears will accelerate.

It's had a rough 18 months, but remains a quality company. Activists may be trying to break up this company. It's not his favourite stock. Earnings came out today and they announced re-structuring charges, and they are in the middle of litigation about a chemical leaching into water. Pass. If you already own it, you probably have a big capital gain, or you can switch to Honeywell.

He's looked at it over the years. It's a great industrial. What worries him is they're at great litigation risk because of PFAS, in products like Scotchguard. Avoid it.

The whole industrial space has struggled due to the slow-down. It’s missed its quarterly numbers a couple times in a row. Investors are a little upset with it, though it is a well diversified manufacturing company. He’s looked into it but hasn’t purchased it yet. It’s not a bad bet if you think there won’t be a recession.

Tough earnings report this morning underscores moderating global growth. Dividend solid, but share price weak. Technical signs not great. Underperforming the broader S&P. Organic growth slowing. Biggest risk is litigation. Yield is 3.6%.

COMMENT

3M Co.(MMM)

Oct 04, 2019
CCL vs 3M MMM-N has a lot of pollution liability and is facing large lawsuits for ground water polluting. CCL.B-T is a disciplined acquirer, making labels and packaging. He thinks CCL.B-T maybe oversold and would come back. He would favour it over MMM-N.

He is not holding this one. A good company, but not a great one. It was a beneficiary when GE was doing poorly and more recently to Boeing's issues. All are big in the industrial space and big traders swing among them at various times. They have a lot of exposure to the Japanese Yen, which has been unhelpful to them.

A diversified industrial company across consumer, industrials and materials, but they have weak topline growth. About 18 months ago, they bought back stock, but added debt, when interest rates were low. Not her first choice in this space. Others have better top- and bottom-line growth.

It’s down 20% from its highs, disappointing investors because of tepid growth and squeezed margins. International operations are significant for this company and the strengthening US dollar makes this less valuable. He would look for a different industrial that doesn’t face the same headwinds. When he sees margins being squeezed, he sees a red flag. Is it a management issue or a competitive issue? These tend to be long-legged issues and he prefers not to get involved with companies that have them.

3M is very exposed internationally. Sell it. Trade tensions will make investors doubtful. Their chart has suffered. Sellers are selling more urgently than the buyers.
