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.

HON
WAIT
Another industrial choice. Last quarter they warned of global weakness. Thinks they are having some execution issues and would wait a quarter.
BUY
Assumption of marketplace is too negative and he thinks it is too negative. Expects good revenue growth.
WAIT
Industrial name and probably one of the worst performing sector this year. Doesn’t know if it will weather the storm in the economy. Long term it probably has a 10% growth rate but right now, no.
DON'T BUY
Has broken down through its upward trend line. The forty day moving average has now turned down. Has also broken through its support. This is a falling knife.
BUY
Trades at a pretty reasonable multiple. Macro issues have brought the price down where it is very attractive. Earning $6 a share plus with the potential to make $10 a share 10 years down the road.
DON'T BUY
This is bang on his model price of $96.36. It will probably grow from here and he'll have a price of $110. That plus your yield gives you 10%-12%.
TOP PICK
Have a multi deckered track record of annual dividend increases. Very diversified products. Good vehicle to access global economics.
TOP PICK
Well positioned to benefit from a continued economic recovery. Good mix of businesses globally. Good product diversification. 2.5% dividend.
BUY
Large cap, high quality company that is reasonably valued. If the economy picks up, you can anticipate that their earnings will improve as well. Would benefit from a weaker US$.
COMMENT
One of the leading diversified consumer products companies. Has a wonderful track record of inventions. Large portions of its sales are in the US and there could be a drag because of a weaker US currency.
WAIT
This is like a barometer on the US economy. Earnings are very good; lots of international growth. Name he would look at when the Canadian $ goes higher. He is avoiding US stocks right now.
BUY
Some segments will respond more quickly to a change in the economy. Fantastically well run. Some of the highest margins and organic growth rates. Has higher margins in Europe than in the US.
BUY
Well diversified with a lot of cash. Well managed. Weak US$ will help them as a large percentage of their revenues come from foreign sources.
WEAK BUY
Good play for a multinational.
BUY
Had a great earnings surprise in the last quarter. Have very interesting prospects. Analysts have been raising on a quarterly and annual basis. Ranks very well in his model.
