The shares continue to look like a good value for the long term, but that depends on management delivering on its turnaround plans.</p>\n<p>The good news is that the company has plenty of financial firepower to do so and is actively pursuing changes. The bad news: There's little hard evidence that the restructuring is having a significant impact, and the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27 might confuse more than it clarifies.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3a0b0ee67bc486cd5307d517dfdc5a2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The case for buying 3M stock</h2>\n<p>The investment thesis is not based on the company that 3M is now, but on what it could become. Simply put, CEO Mike Roman's task is to use the company's substantive earnings and free cash flow (FCF) to turn around 3M's performance.</p>\n<p>The company generates bundles of earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization (EBITDA), and FCF. Its price-to-FCF valuation looks cheap, especially compared to a multi-industry peer like <b>Illinois Tool Works</b>, trading at nearly 28 times its FCF.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6ecd09a228dcf915ce4d3bbf06dff77\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.</span></p>\n<h2>What's been going wrong</h2>\n<p>The reason 3M trades at a discount to Illinois Tool Works comes down to a combination of its potential legal liability for PFAS chemicals and its underperformance on earnings relative to management expectations.</p>\n<p>3M operates out of four segments. The safety and industrial segment and the transportation and electronics segment have significant exposure to the industrial economy and automotive industry. And given weak end-market conditions in recent years, it's understandable if they have performed poorly. However, what isn't forgivable is that the <i>less cyclical </i>segments, namely healthcare and consumer, have disappointed the most.</p>\n<p>For example, back on investor day in late 2018, then-CFO Nick Gangestad outlined expectations for 2019-2023 total company organic revenue growth of 3% to 5% a year, with the healthcare segment up 4% to 6% and the consumer segment up 2% to 4%.</p>\n<p>While 2020's performance is understandable in the context of the pandemic, the performance in 2018-2019 is disappointing. In case you are wondering, the consumer segment received a major boost in 2020 from stay-at-home measures lifting home improvement sales.</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <th><p>Organic Sales Growth</p></th>\n <th><p>2020</p></th>\n <th><p>2019</p></th>\n <th><p>2018</p></th>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Safety & Industrial</p></td>\n <td><p>3.5%</p></td>\n <td><p>(3.3%)</p></td>\n <td><p>N/A*</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Transportation & Electronics</p></td>\n <td><p>(7.1%)</p></td>\n <td><p>(3.5%)</p></td>\n <td><p>N/A*</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Healthcare</p></td>\n <td><p>1%</p></td>\n <td><p>1.6%**</p></td>\n <td><p>2.6%</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Consumer</p></td>\n <td><p>4.1%</p></td>\n <td><p>1.3%**</p></td>\n <td><p>1.5%</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><p><b>Total Company </b></p></td>\n <td><p><b>(1.7%)</b></p></td>\n <td><p><b>(1.5%)</b></p></td>\n <td><p><b>3.2%</b></p></td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: 3M presentations. *3M shifted to operating out five business segments to four. **In 2019, The healthcare segment added the separation and filtration business, and the consumer segment added the retail auto care business.

The shares continue to look like a good value for the long term, but that depends on management delivering on its turnaround plans.\nThe good news is that the company has plenty of financial firepower to do so and is actively pursuing changes. The bad news: There's little hard evidence that the restructuring is having a significant impact, and the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27 might confuse more than it clarifies.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe case for buying 3M stock\nThe investment thesis is not based on the company that 3M is now, but on what it could become. Simply put, CEO Mike Roman's task is to use the company's substantive earnings and free cash flow (FCF) to turn around 3M's performance.\nThe company generates bundles of earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization (EBITDA), and FCF. Its price-to-FCF valuation looks cheap, especially compared to a multi-industry peer like Illinois Tool Works, trading at nearly 28 times its FCF.\nData by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.\nWhat's been going wrong\nThe reason 3M trades at a discount to Illinois Tool Works comes down to a combination of its potential legal liability for PFAS chemicals and its underperformance on earnings relative to management expectations.\n3M operates out of four segments. The safety and industrial segment and the transportation and electronics segment have significant exposure to the industrial economy and automotive industry. And given weak end-market conditions in recent years, it's understandable if they have performed poorly. However, what isn't forgivable is that the less cyclical segments, namely healthcare and consumer, have disappointed the most.\nFor example, back on investor day in late 2018, then-CFO Nick Gangestad outlined expectations for 2019-2023 total company organic revenue growth of 3% to 5% a year, with the healthcare segment up 4% to 6% and the consumer segment up 2% to 4%.\nWhile 2020's performance is understandable in the context of the pandemic, the performance in 2018-2019 is disappointing.
