3M Cuts Dividend 54% After Spinoff
By Ben Glickman
3M slashed its dividend by more than half on Tuesday, making good on the company's promise to reduce its payout after the completed spinoff of its healthcare division.
The St. Paul, Minn.-based materials maker declared a dividend of 70 cents a share, compared with a previous dividend of $1.51 a share. The company telegraphed the dividend reduction late last month but didn't say what the new payout would be.
The new dividend, equal to $2.80 a share for the year, represents an annual yield of 2.8% based on the Tuesday closing price of $100.08.
3M's reduction bucks the company's multi-decade streak of raising its dividend every year.
