Meanwhile, healthcare is likely to be impacted by the pandemic in the first quarter.\nOn the other hand, the recovery in the industrial economy is taking shape in the U.S., and many of 3M's end markets will be strengthening. Also, since management has articulated that there hasn't been an inventory buildup by its customers, it might kick in at some point in 2021 as the economy recovers.\nWhat to expect\nIt's unclear what 3M will report, and the market could be disappointed if it doesn't raise guidance in an environment where many of its peers may well do so. However, what is clear is that 3M's earnings report will be messy, and if you are looking for strong evidence that the turnaround is showing in the numbers, you are unlikely to find it in the upcoming results.\nThere is a strong case for buying/holding the stock, but management needs to start delivering in 2021, particularly in the healthcare segment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":174,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345313464,"gmtCreate":1618278175458,"gmtModify":1704708479802,"author":{"id":"3576056663374326","authorId":"3576056663374326","authorIdStr":"3576056663374326","name":"Tigger999","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/625b5448df1ae2bc92ffbfda0d6a56a4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576056663374326"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345313464","repostId":"1129466392","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129466392","pubTimestamp":1618273095,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129466392?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-13 08:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Jim Cramer says Nvidia shares will ‘end up looking cheap’ next year as stock nears record high","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129466392","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nCNBC’s Jim Cramer recommended buying shares of Nvidia after shares rallied 5% Monday on ","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nCNBC’s Jim Cramer recommended buying shares of Nvidia after shares rallied 5% Monday on new product announcements and a raised projection.\n“Nvidia’s stock looks expensive because the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/12/nearing-record-high-cramer-says-nvidia-will-look-cheap-next-year.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
