3M: Combat Arms' Proposed Payment Schedule Doesn't Alter Our Long-Term View
Business Strategy and Outlook
Estimating 3M's legal liabilities is a highly uncertain exercise. While some believe these total liabilities are greater than the firm's market capitalization, we think its 2023 settlements greatly reduce 3M's risks and is the right move for shareholders. However, we remain concerned over 3M's ability to absorb additional PFAS-related liabilities.
