We expect the company\u2019s revenues to come in at $7.9 billion, aligning with the consensus estimate. This would mark a year-over-year decline of about 9%. Earnings will likely come in at about $1.73 on a per-share and adjusted basis, in line with the $1.72 consensus estimate and 30% below its prior-year quarter figure of $2.48.

So, what are some of the trends that are likely to drive 3M\u2019s results?<\/p>\n<p>Although the company will likely continue to benefit from the pricing actions, lower demand for respirators will probably be a drag on its top line. Looking at Q1 2023, <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/MMM\/no-login-required\/jGKDjT6D\/3M-Company-Revenue?fromforbesandarticle=trefis230720\">3M\u2019s revenues<\/strong> were down 9%, with all segments seeing a y-o-y decline. Furthermore, the operating margin contracted about 400 bps to 17.9% on an adjusted basis and over 300 bps down on a reported basis due to elevated input costs. Our <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/MMM\/no-login-required\/18y6WNWL\/3M-Company-MMM-Operating-Income-Comparison?fromforbesandarticle=trefis230720\">3M Operating Income Comparison<\/strong> dashboard has more details. Lower revenues and a fall in operating margin resulted in a 25% decline in 3M\u2019s earnings to $1.97 on a per-share and adjusted basis. 3M announced a restructuring plan earlier this year aimed at improving its margin profile, and it will record a charge of $175 to $250 million in Q2\u201923.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at 3M\u2019s stock price, we believe that it has room for growth. We estimate <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/MMM\/no-login-required\/hqod6yKT\/3M-MMM-Valuation-Is-MMM-Stock-Expensive-Or-Cheap-?fromforbesandarticle=trefis230720\">3M\u2019s valuation<\/strong> to be $118 per share, about 15% above its current price of $103. Our forecast is based on a 14x P\/E multiple for MMM and expected earnings of $8.64 on a per-share and adjusted basis for the full-year 2023. The company has guided for adjusted EPS to be in the range of $8.50 to $9.00 for the full-year 2023. The 14x P\/E multiple compares with the last three-year average of about 16x. We have assigned a slightly lower P\/E multiple for 3M compared to its historical average due to the uncertainties around ongoing litigation. Last month, 3M agreed to pay $10.5 billion to $12.5 billion to settle the \u201cforever chemicals\u201d lawsuit.<sup> [<\/sup><sup data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/3m-settles-forever-chemicals-litigation-for-up-to-12-5-billion-abbeba36\">1<\/sup><sup>]<\/sup> The other major ongoing litigation for 3M is about defective earplugs.<\/p>\n<p>While 3M stock looks like it has room for growth, check out how 3M Peers fare on metrics that matter.
