3M has agreed to a $7.35 billion nominal settlement, with a present value of $5.8 billion, to resolve approximately 99% of PFAS-related personal injury claims involving up to 120,000 plaintiffs. This settlement reduces litigation uncertainty and aligns payments over nine years, with no payments in 2027 and a $50 million payment in 2026. The company will record a $5.8 billion pre-tax charge in Q4 2026 but maintains its 2026 financial guidance. This move follows 3M's previous PFAS-related settlements and its commitment to phase out PFAS production by 2025, aiming to manage legacy liabilities and focus on long-term business transformation.
