Well, that turned out to be the case, because regulatory credit sales soared to $518 million, whereas most expectations called for them to be down from Q4 levels. Excluding these credit sales, Tesla's average selling price per vehicle delivered declined by $3,444, primarily as there were no deliveries of the new S/X vehicles. Tesla's energy revenues also dropped significantly over Q4 levels, which also resulted in that division reporting terrible margins.</p><p>Tesla's automotive margins rose by 240 basis points quarter over quarter, although almost half of that was due to the increase in credit sales. The company did, however, report a lot more operating expenses than most were expecting, primarily due to another CEO award milestone becoming probable. Management also took advantage of the rise in bitcoin to pad the bottom line, reporting a $101 million gain from Bitcoin sales (reported in the other opex line below).

It turned out that my GAAP EPS estimate was just a penny off, where I had too much product costs but not enough operating costs. The second half of that flowed through to non-GAAP results thanks to that CEO award resulting in a lot more stock-based compensation. Overall, these results were not as strong as many were looking for, which is part of the reason why the stock dipped about 2% in initial after-hours trading.</p><p>The second key I talked about in my earnings preview was Tesla's production and its yearly forecast. There had been a lot of talk recently about thecompany potentially talking abouta million units of production this year. However, management did not really update its forecast in the investor letter, only talking about its plan to exceed 50% growth in deliveries this year. In the table below, you can see how the company's installed capacity has trended, but I will note that there was no unit increase from the Q4 report.</p><p>(The \"actual / 4-qtr production\" figure is based on the latest quarter's production divided by the 4-qtr rolling average, so Q1 2021's 88.24% figure comes from the 180,338 units divided by the 204,375 rolling average.<i>Source: Tesla quarterly reports on IR site,seen here)</i></p><p>New Model S vehicle deliveries should start shortly, as opposed to Elon Musk's previous comments for them starting in February of this year. The first model Y units from Texas and Berlin should be delivered by the end of the year, along with the Semi. However, I should note that up until this weekend, Tesla's European sites showed Model Y production starting \"mid-year\", so this is a bit of a push back from that forecast.</p><p>When we look at the balance sheet, Tesla reported a $2.2 billion decrease in its cash and cash equivalents in Q1 to $17.1 billion. This was mainly due to $1.2 billion net outflows in both debt as well as Bitcoin. This was partially offset by $293 million in free cash flow. However, just as we've seen in the past, accounts payable and accrued liabilities rose by $815 million, so Tesla would have not been free cash flow positive if it had paid some more of its bills during the quarter. Usually, this is function of rising production, but that barely happened in Q1 plus we had much lower costing vehicles accounting for a larger percentage of production with no new Model S/X units produced. Accounts receivable also increased very slightly over Q4 levels despite the sequential decline in revenues of more than $350 million.</p><p>It will be interesting to see the reaction to this report, more than just an hour or so of after-hours trading where shares are down about $16 to $722. As the chart below shows, the stock has recently regained the 50-day moving average, which could provide some support. However, that key technical level is still declining, which could set up the dreaded death cross in a month or so if the current trend continues.</p><p>In the end, Tesla's Q1 results were a bit disappointing. Revenues were basically in line with most expectations, but that was as a result of the largest quarter ever of regulatory credit sales. Excluding those highly profitable sales as well as some Bitcoin gains, Tesla would have lost money for the quarter. Also, management did not provide the big guidance boost many were hoping for, and the stock dipped about 2% in the after-hours session.

As you can see in the graphic below, a number of sites also had a \"low\" estimate of $8.20 billion, which is either an analyst that hasn't updated in a while or a number that was put there to bring the overall average down by about $100 million.(Source: Seeking Alpha Tesla estimates page,seen here)As I mentioned inmy earnings preview article, I wouldn't be concerned with the revenue number unless there was a major outlier. Well, that turned out to be the case, because regulatory credit sales soared to $518 million, whereas most expectations called for them to be down from Q4 levels. Excluding these credit sales, Tesla's average selling price per vehicle delivered declined by $3,444, primarily as there were no deliveries of the new S/X vehicles. Tesla's energy revenues also dropped significantly over Q4 levels, which also resulted in that division reporting terrible margins.Tesla's automotive margins rose by 240 basis points quarter over quarter, although almost half of that was due to the increase in credit sales. The company did, however, report a lot more operating expenses than most were expecting, primarily due to another CEO award milestone becoming probable. Management also took advantage of the rise in bitcoin to pad the bottom line, reporting a $101 million gain from Bitcoin sales (reported in the other opex line below). The table below shows Tesla's overall results compared to my three cases as well as Q4 results.If you take out the regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, Tesla's pre-tax result was an $86 million loss. It turned out that my GAAP EPS estimate was just a penny off, where I had too much product costs but not enough operating costs. The second half of that flowed through to non-GAAP results thanks to that CEO award resulting in a lot more stock-based compensation. Overall, these results were not as strong as many were looking for, which is part of the reason why the stock dipped about 2% in initial after-hours trading.The second key I talked about in my earnings preview was Tesla's production and its yearly forecast. There had been a lot of talk recently about thecompany potentially talking abouta million units of production this year. However, management did not really update its forecast in the investor letter, only talking about its plan to exceed 50% growth in deliveries this year. In the table below, you can see how the company's installed capacity has trended, but I will note that there was no unit increase from the Q4 report.(The \"actual / 4-qtr production\" figure is based on the latest quarter's production divided by the 4-qtr rolling average, so Q1 2021's 88.24% figure comes from the 180,338 units divided by the 204,375 rolling average.Source: Tesla quarterly reports on IR site,seen here)New Model S vehicle deliveries should start shortly, as opposed to Elon Musk's previous comments for them starting in February of this year. The first model Y units from Texas and Berlin should be delivered by the end of the year, along with the Semi. However, I should note that up until this weekend, Tesla's European sites showed Model Y production starting \"mid-year\", so this is a bit of a push back from that forecast.When we look at the balance sheet, Tesla reported a $2.2 billion decrease in its cash and cash equivalents in Q1 to $17.1 billion. This was mainly due to $1.2 billion net outflows in both debt as well as Bitcoin. This was partially offset by $293 million in free cash flow. However, just as we've seen in the past, accounts payable and accrued liabilities rose by $815 million, so Tesla would have not been free cash flow positive if it had paid some more of its bills during the quarter. Usually, this is function of rising production, but that barely happened in Q1 plus we had much lower costing vehicles accounting for a larger percentage of production with no new Model S/X units produced. Accounts receivable also increased very slightly over Q4 levels despite the sequential decline in revenues of more than $350 million.It will be interesting to see the reaction to this report, more than just an hour or so of after-hours trading where shares are down about $16 to $722. As the chart below shows, the stock has recently regained the 50-day moving average, which could provide some support. However, that key technical level is still declining, which could set up the dreaded death cross in a month or so if the current trend continues.In the end, Tesla's Q1 results were a bit disappointing. Revenues were basically in line with most expectations, but that was as a result of the largest quarter ever of regulatory credit sales. Excluding those highly profitable sales as well as some Bitcoin gains, Tesla would have lost money for the quarter. Also, management did not provide the big guidance boost many were hoping for, and the stock dipped about 2% in the after-hours session. Once we get the 10-Q filing and can fully digest all of the numbers, I'll be back with some thoughts on what to do with shares moving forward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":284,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375639917,"gmtCreate":1619330292039,"gmtModify":1704722559197,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hjhjn","listText":"Hjhjn","text":"Hjhjn","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/996d2e5cca053bd3dda9dfb9d8d6c3d5","width":"750","height":"1654"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375639917","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":808,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375630011,"gmtCreate":1619330228833,"gmtModify":1704722559685,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TAL\">$TAL Education Group(TAL)$</a>ahhh","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TAL\">$TAL Education Group(TAL)$</a>ahhh","text":"$TAL Education Group(TAL)$ahhh","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9241261e0f0f77d1b3f87712dd847995","width":"828","height":"1434"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375630011","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":704,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375997144,"gmtCreate":1619273044588,"gmtModify":1704722021295,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bad&nbsp;","listText":"Bad&nbsp;","text":"Bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375997144","repostId":"1197391893","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197391893","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619185816,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197391893?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 21:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Business Output Expands Most on Record, IHS Markit Says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197391893","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Composite prices-received measure highest in data to 2009\nGauge of manufacturing orders second-stron","content":"<ul>\n <li>Composite prices-received measure highest in data to 2009</li>\n <li>Gauge of manufacturing orders second-strongest on record</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A gauge of output at U.S. manufacturers and service providers reached a record high in April, adding to evidence of stronger demand that’s fueling inflationary pressures.</p>\n<p>The IHS Markit flash composite index of purchasing managers at manufacturers and service providers increased to 62.2, the highest in data back to 2009, from 59.7 a month earlier, the group reported Friday.

In fact, over the last year, BABA stock is up just a bit over 10%. That is nothing to write home about. But the truth is the stock is now very cheap, and likely to do much better over the next year.</p><p>This is especially true now that the Chinese e-commerce conglomerate, with a similar business model to&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN)</u></b>, has weathered a lengthy review from Chinese regulators. On April 10, they accepted&nbsp;a $2.8 billion antitrust fine&nbsp;from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) in the PRC. This is effectively a slap on the wrist, as the fine represents just 4% of its 2019 revenue.</p><p>Analysts were uniform in arguing that this is a relief for BABA stock. One analyst from HSBC pointed out that this would&nbsp;not affect its gross merchandise value(GMV). Apparently what riled regulators were actions from one of Alibaba’s “Tmall flagship stores that are directly operated by brands.” The point is its fundamental business model won’t be changed or affected.</p><p><b>Comparing Alibaba’s Valuation</b></p><p>In my previous&nbsp;article at the end of last year,I compared the valuation of Alibaba stock to Amazon. I found that Alibaba was very cheap, as its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was one-third that of Amazon. This was the case even though both had similar price-to-sales ratios.</p><p>Well, the same is true today. For example, BABA stock has a&nbsp;forward P/E ratio (for 2021) of 22 times earnings&nbsp;(year ending March) and just 21 times for 2022, according to<i>Seeking Alpha</i>. Compare this to AMZN stock. Its 2021 forward 2021 P/E multiple (year ending December) is 70 times, and for 2022 is 50 times earnings. This means that Alibaba trades for under a third of the 2021 AMZN stock ratio and 42% of the 2022 ratio.</p><p>Moreover, Alibaba has similar, if not better, free cash flow (FCF) margins as compared to Amazon. For example, according to<i>Seeking Alpha</i>, during the last 12 months (LTM) ending in December 2020, Alibaba&nbsp;generated $27.148.02 billion&nbsp;on $98.686 billion, or a 27.5% FCF margin. But Amazon had $31.02 billion in FCF on $386.06 billion in revenue, or an 8% FCF margin. In other words, Alibaba has 3.4 times the FCF margins of Amazon.</p><p><b>What Alibaba Is Worth</b></p><p>So the Alibaba valuation is out of whack.</p><p>But maybe a 66% discount to the valuation is too much (i.e., the 2021 P/E valuation discount). For example, let’s assume there is just a 50% discount to the comparable 2021 P/E value (to account for the PRC discount) and a 40% discount to the 2022 valuation. That would give BABA stock a P/E ratio of 35 times for 2021 (i.e., 50% x 70 multiple) and a 30 times ratio for 2022 (i.e., 60% x 50 times).</p><p>As a result, the implied discounted 2021 valuation is$356.65 (i.e., $10.19 EPS for 2021 times 35 P/E) and $335.70 for 2022 (i.e., $11.19 2022 EPS x 30 P/E ratio). The average of these two target prices is $345.88 is still 50% above today’s price (April 20).</p><p>So, even after discounting Alibaba’s prospects by 50% for 2021 and 40% for 2022 (assuming the regulatory crackdown abates by then), the stock is still very cheap.</p><p><b>What to Do With BABA Stock</b></p><p>Many analysts fail to properly discount Alibaba’s valuation. They see the discrepancy with Amazon and other Western tech stocks and say this stock is worth three times more.</p><p>No one really knows where any of this regulatory scrutiny could end.

In fact, over the last year, BABA stock is up just a bit over 10%. That is nothing to write home about. But the truth is the stock is now very cheap, and likely to do much better over the next year.This is especially true now that the Chinese e-commerce conglomerate, with a similar business model to Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), has weathered a lengthy review from Chinese regulators. On April 10, they accepted a $2.8 billion antitrust fine from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) in the PRC. This is effectively a slap on the wrist, as the fine represents just 4% of its 2019 revenue.Analysts were uniform in arguing that this is a relief for BABA stock. One analyst from HSBC pointed out that this would not affect its gross merchandise value(GMV). Apparently what riled regulators were actions from one of Alibaba’s “Tmall flagship stores that are directly operated by brands.” The point is its fundamental business model won’t be changed or affected.Comparing Alibaba’s ValuationIn my previous article at the end of last year,I compared the valuation of Alibaba stock to Amazon. I found that Alibaba was very cheap, as its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was one-third that of Amazon. This was the case even though both had similar price-to-sales ratios.Well, the same is true today. For example, BABA stock has a forward P/E ratio (for 2021) of 22 times earnings (year ending March) and just 21 times for 2022, according toSeeking Alpha. Compare this to AMZN stock. Its 2021 forward 2021 P/E multiple (year ending December) is 70 times, and for 2022 is 50 times earnings. This means that Alibaba trades for under a third of the 2021 AMZN stock ratio and 42% of the 2022 ratio.Moreover, Alibaba has similar, if not better, free cash flow (FCF) margins as compared to Amazon. For example, according toSeeking Alpha, during the last 12 months (LTM) ending in December 2020, Alibaba generated $27.148.02 billion on $98.686 billion, or a 27.5% FCF margin. But Amazon had $31.02 billion in FCF on $386.06 billion in revenue, or an 8% FCF margin. In other words, Alibaba has 3.4 times the FCF margins of Amazon.What Alibaba Is WorthSo the Alibaba valuation is out of whack.But maybe a 66% discount to the valuation is too much (i.e., the 2021 P/E valuation discount). For example, let’s assume there is just a 50% discount to the comparable 2021 P/E value (to account for the PRC discount) and a 40% discount to the 2022 valuation. That would give BABA stock a P/E ratio of 35 times for 2021 (i.e., 50% x 70 multiple) and a 30 times ratio for 2022 (i.e., 60% x 50 times).As a result, the implied discounted 2021 valuation is$356.65 (i.e., $10.19 EPS for 2021 times 35 P/E) and $335.70 for 2022 (i.e., $11.19 2022 EPS x 30 P/E ratio). The average of these two target prices is $345.88 is still 50% above today’s price (April 20).So, even after discounting Alibaba’s prospects by 50% for 2021 and 40% for 2022 (assuming the regulatory crackdown abates by then), the stock is still very cheap.What to Do With BABA StockMany analysts fail to properly discount Alibaba’s valuation. They see the discrepancy with Amazon and other Western tech stocks and say this stock is worth three times more.No one really knows where any of this regulatory scrutiny could end. It is a massive, volatile, uncertain, and potentially totally destructive risk for owners of BABA stock. The market is not blind to this risk, which is why the stock is so cheap. However, I do believe that the market has overdone the risk discounting. It seems likely now that the stock will rise assuming that the government scrutiny is over.This could be a wild ride. Keep in mind that BABA stock carries huge risks, despite its massive profitability.  Nevertheless, right now it looks like the stock is worth about 50% more, or $345.88 per share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":715,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375994424,"gmtCreate":1619272976468,"gmtModify":1704722019657,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ah","listText":"Good ah","text":"Good ah","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc5b9be20e9ea67bb534310e6c2fd864","width":"750","height":"1654"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375994424","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":473,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375994256,"gmtCreate":1619272949175,"gmtModify":1704722019161,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No good&nbsp;","listText":"No good&nbsp;","text":"No good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375994256","repostId":"1176897400","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176897400","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619183071,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176897400?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 21:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Two traders pick their FAANG favorites ahead of earnings next week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176897400","media":"CNBC","summary":"The FAANG stocks are in for an eventful week.\nEvery high-profile technology stock in the group excep","content":"<div>\n<p>The FAANG stocks are in for an eventful week.\nEvery high-profile technology stock in the group except Netflix is set to report earnings in coming days.Alphabet will report on Tuesday,Apple and ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/two-traders-pick-their-faang-favorites-ahead-of-earnings-next-week.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;

They’re dominating the market. They’re innovating every day,” he said. “There are Apple products in everybody’s households everywhere. ... Each generation has some Apple device. So, I think during this tech revolution we’re in right now, you’re going to see these two companies dominate.”\nHe suggested using Apple’s latest dip as a buying opportunity. The stock closed down more than 1% on Thursday at $131.94 a share.\nTwo other names have a stronger technical setup, MKM Partners chief market technician JC O’Hara said in the same interview.\n“Three out of those five stocks have been dead money since last August,” he said. “If you look at the charts, they basically have consolidated within a range. If we’re in a global bull market, I want to be in leadership. I want to be in stocks that are breaking higher.”\nOf the FAANG stocks, “that leaves us with Facebook and Alphabet,” said O’Hara.\n“When I dive into those two names, I think Facebook offers an attractive entry point right here,” he said. “It pulled back right to the old breakout spot, which to me says everybody who missed the initial breakout, we have a second opportunity right here to jump back in.”\n\nO’Hara expected the stock — which closed nearly 2% lower at $296.52 on Thursday — to rebound around the $300 level and eventually reach $340 a share, roughly 14% above its current levels.\n“I want to be in leadership,” he said. “I want to be in names that have already broken out.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375994609,"gmtCreate":1619272931601,"gmtModify":1704722019492,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Notrch bad","listText":"Notrch bad","text":"Notrch bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375994609","repostId":"2129035447","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129035447","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1619184351,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2129035447?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 21:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3M Earnings Preview: Here's What to Expect","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129035447","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Analyzing the investment case for 3M and why the upcoming results will be very closely followed.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MMM\">3M</a></b> (NYSE:MMM) is a company and a stock under pressure.

The safety and industrial segment and the transportation and electronics segment have significant exposure to the industrial economy and automotive industry.

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. In case you are wondering, the consumer segment received a major boost in 2020 from stay-at-home measures lifting home improvement sales.\n\n\n\nOrganic Sales Growth\n2020\n2019\n2018\n\n\nSafety  & Industrial\n3.5%\n(3.3%)\nN/A*\n\n\nTransportation & Electronics\n(7.1%)\n(3.5%)\nN/A*\n\n\nHealthcare\n1%\n1.6%**\n2.6%\n\n\nConsumer\n4.1%\n1.3%**\n1.5%\n\n\nTotal Company \n(1.7%)\n(1.5%)\n3.2%\n\n\n\nData 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. Both relatively small businesses.\nWhat 3M has been doing about it\nThe good news is that Roman is taking action, in particular with the healthcare segment. The non-core drug delivery business was sold for $650 million in 2020., On the acquisition front, 3M bought M*Modal's health information systems business for $1 billion in early 2019. Management followed up by buying Acelity (specializing in advanced and surgical wound care) for $6.7 billion at the end of 2019. Also, the food safety business is rumored to be another business that management is willing to sell.\nOn top of the acquisitions and divestment activity, Roman has restructured the company from five business segments to four and streamlined the operation by cutting positions.
