3M Earnings: In-Line Results Cause Us to Maintain Valuation
Narrow-moat rated 3M posted in-line fourth-quarter results. Therefore, we maintain our $124 fair value. While fourth-quarter sales were slightly below expectations, adjusted operating margins came in a bit higher. That said, legal-related charges represent real costs to shareholders, and those boosted adjusted results. Nevertheless, we think the selloff following the release was an overreaction to a weaker-than-expected 2024 organic sales guide.
