3M has agreed to a $7.35 billion settlement over nine years to resolve personal injury claims related to PFAS chemicals in firefighting foam. The deal covers about 99% of current claims involving up to 120,000 plaintiffs, but payments depend on a participation threshold that 3M has not yet disclosed. The settlement will be booked as a $5.8 billion pre-tax charge in Q4 2026 but is excluded from adjusted earnings guidance. This payment plan reduces litigation uncertainty and follows previous PFAS-related settlements totaling over $20 billion. Investors will watch for details on plaintiff participation and the impact on 3M's financials during the upcoming investor call.
