The analyst's take on 3M Company
3M Company has grown revenue from $30.11B to $24.28B over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about -5.5% a year. The most recent year was up 2.7%, so growth is actually accelerating.
Net margin sits at 13.4%, down 4.3 points year over year on a 38.3% gross margin. It carries about $14.27B of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly 23.9% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the -26.7% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price already assumes a step-up from the recent record. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is heavy debt load.
