3M cut its dividend for the first time in 64 years after spinning off Solventum in 2024 but has since raised it twice and resolved major PFAS litigation. The company now pays a dividend yield of about 1.67%, covered comfortably by earnings and free cash flow, despite ongoing PFAS-related cash outflows. With a $6 billion share buyback authorized and improved guidance, 3M is seen as a growth-and-income stock again. Investors should watch upcoming cash flow reversals and dividend increases for further signals.
