Analyzing the Good and Bad of 3M: Is It a Good Investment?When a company as renowned as 3M encounters difficulties, it's important to take a closer look at what's happening and why. While you may discover good news, there's also a chance you won't, but it's better to stay informed than to regret not paying attention. So, let's examine both the positive and negative aspects of 3M today. On the bright side, 3M has been increasing its dividend for more than six decades, making it one of the elite dividend kings. Additionally, the company's dividend yield of 5.8% is currently on the higher end of its historical range, which is a considerable draw for dividend investors. Moreover, with a consistent dividend growth rate of over 9% year-over-year for the past decade, it's easy to see why people might be interested in investing in the company's stock right now. In terms of traditional valuation metrics like price-to-earnings, price-to-sales, and price-to-book value, 3M remains an attractive investment option. All three metrics are hovering around their five-year averages, making the company a tempting investment opportunity. However, it's important to note that Wall Street rarely shorts stocks without a good reason. Dividends can also help provide insight into the company's performance. While the 10-year annual dividend growth rate for 3M is almost 10%, it's been declining in recent years. The average growth rate for the past five years has been just under 5%, with the average for the last three years being slightly over 1%. Furthermore, the most recent dividend increase was only 0.7%. This suggests that 3M's business has encountered adversity, and growth has slowed down. The most significant challenge 3M currently faces is legal and regulatory issues that won't be easily resolved. The most high-profile legal issue involves lawsuits related to earplugs sold to the military, with the company winning some cases and losing others. Recently, 3M has claimed that most of the plaintiffs aren't actually suffering from hearing loss. However, the lawsuit is expensive and likely to continue for some time. If 3M loses, the defeat could result in multi-billion dollar damages. Additionally, 3M is facing problems associated with producing "everlasting chemicals," which require costly efforts to clean up contaminated environments and may lead to years of litigation. The company plans to phase out production of these chemicals by 2025, which will result in expensive write-offs. This process will be challenging and costly. To make things even more complicated, 3M is planning to separate its medical business, which has long been viewed as a growth platform. Although this move may cause some concern, it would protect the business from liabilities that could impact the rest of the company's operations. Separating the medical business could also result in a higher price from Wall Street than if it were part of 3M. While this could be good news for shareholders, it does add complexity to the situation. Considering the long-term challenges 3M faces, it may not be a suitable investment for risk-averse investors due to the numerous company-specific concerns. However, it may make sense for more aggressive investors willing to take a bet on a company with an investment grade and a market capitalization of $50 billion, despite significant stock declines and legal and regulatory issues. Stocks don't enter the deep value zone for no reason, but investors must be prepared to weather the uncertainty if they decide to invest.

3m or MMM or mistake=magic=profitHello, today we will look at 3m company. I like the company and the stock. Considering their inception 1902, before stock market were created, I consider this company very stable to live thru everything of last century. I do like that they make lot's of items for us, 60000 different products and counting. They are nice company to work for as far as I know. And as a manufacturing person I enjoy companies that support me with good PPE, adhesives and sticky notes :) Now, back to trading. Their all time high were 250-275, something like that, @ 2018. Then they were dunking since and reached the major drop during beginning of pandemic on march-feb 2020. Bounce back with all the indexes to 200 or so. Then Crash and Burn to what ever it's now. Around 100 bucks. I think the max low will be about 90-95. Dead cat bounce to 138.90. Then sideways, back up a little to 118, then shoot to closer 156, rejected, 144-46, break thru to 168, settle at 155. Then I don't know. I am want to play on dead cat bounce after this drop. Just to put a time frame. 90 around august 2023. Bounce close to end of November 2023, correction on December 2023, rise on jan 2024 till 156 @ Aug 2024. Problematic: It'll get there but time frames might shift. Personal: Shares with dividends here. Very small options and if any then for AUG 2024 @ 150-200 From now at 100. These company a good company for decades of investing, especially on generational shifts and overpopulation and manufacturing upcoming boom in USA. ( or what ever those 80 billion will be used for ). That's an idea.

3M Monthly Chart Signaling Further DownsideMMM has entered a downtrend on its monthly time frame. Downtrend was confirmed with a lower high in June of 2021, followed by a retest of strong support at 108 a share (which is also where the 200-day SMA currently sits). 3M may get a short-term bounce due to oversold reads on indicators, but this stock is clearly in a downtrend. The next big move in the medium term will be to the 62-69 support zone. Notice how there's virtually no support between 108-69. Good luck! This is not financial advice.

3M is Near Bottom Valuation3M stock is considered very cheap as it is traded at 3.5x PB ratio. Even though the company has an decreasing future net income, it still has pretty strong revenue. 3M price is moving downward faster than it's strong fundamental. So it left room for potential upward gain, as it is now considered cheap in term of financial valuation. What is needed by the company is just a reduction of the cost and operate more efficiently. It that could be done I think 3M price could bounce up strongly. We are using Stock Value Rainbow to evaluate stock valuation based on four valuation metrices: book value, earning, dividend and cash flow. The rainbow color depict the multiples values of all these four factors sum up together. The rainbow above the gray lines represent 1x, 2x, 3x, .., 10x of stock value. While rainbow below the gray line represent 0.8x, 0.6x, 0.4x, 0.2x stock value. The higher the value the more expensive the stock, the lower the value the cheaper it is according to these fundamental or financial valuation metrices.

MMM 16 DEC 120/125/130 BUTTERFLYSIDEWAYS RANGE TRADE SET UP: For the most part, this has been making relatively equal highs and lows between....let's call it 120 and 130. The 20 day and 50 day are flattening and it's not in any strong rally or strong pull back. I determined my target using the hour chart. I was thinking about having this expire this Friday, but I didn't feel that was enough time so I put it out until next week. I'm set up for max loss and risking only about 1% of my portfolio.
