"The Dow [adds a stock] if the company has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth, and is of interest to a large number of investors. Sector representation is also a consideration.” – Dow Jones & Co. The highest-yield 10 stocks are December's Dogs of the Dow: KO, AMGN, CSCO, GS, IBM, CVX, DOW, MMM, VZ, and WBA. They only averaged a 4.92% annual yield, as December prices rose. Thirty Dow stocks represent nine of eleven sectors. Dow Jones tracks utilities as a separate index and omits real estate. Broker top-ten target-estimated December net gains ranged between 11.08%-44.04%, topped by WBA 11/30/23.

December Dogs Of The Dow: 3 Buyable, 5 Watchable

3M Company stock's underperformance stunned its investors as MMM took out looks last seen in 2012. I was concerned about it being a value trap previously, given its significant underperformance. My current assessment suggests that the worst could be over for 3M as investors anticipate its legal woes may have reached a nadir. The company's spin-off of its healthcare business and improved earnings guidance suggest a potential business recovery amid material undervaluation.

3M: The Tide Has Turned For A Much-Needed Recovery (Rating Upgrade)

The company's dividend payout could be under threat. Management appears to be growing profit margins again as it restructures the company.

Where Will 3M Be in 1 Year?

3M has faced numerous controversies and lawsuits, while its stock lost half of its value in the past 2.5 years. The company's dividend yield is currently over 6%, but its lack of growth and litigation risks make it unattractive for investment. Two recent settlements already amount to a total of $15.8B of costs for 3M, about thrice the company's annual operating income.

3M: 6% Dividend Yield And 11x P/E Are Not Worth The Legal Risks

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

Is 3M (MMM) Stock Undervalued Right Now?

3M's stock has faced significant pressure since 2020 following the Earplug Lawsuit, erasing all gains made in the past decade. The litigation drove the stock to trade at levels not seen since the Financial Crisis, offering an attractive valuation at 10.28x its earnings. The $6 billion settlement of the Earplug lawsuit should signify a new chapter for the company, potentially paving the way for recovery in 2024.

3M: Time To Load Up On This 6.1% Yield

3M has a string of decent quarterly earnings beats and stock price reactions. With a historically high free cash flow yield and lofty dividend, I see earnings trends stabilizing as settlement charges come about. I spot key price levels on the chart to monitor as the January earnings date approaches.
