The market's reaction to 3M might be overdone here. When you strip out the automotive sector turbulence, the company actually showed solid momentum through December. Fundamentals were holding up better than headlines suggested. Sometimes the noise around one struggling vertical can obscure what's actually happening in the broader business—and that's exactly what happened with 3M. December data tells a different story than the panic suggested.

Alright, that's a good point. It's just that the car part is dragging things down a bit; removing that layer, 3M is actually okay.

It's clear at a glance that the automotive sector indeed dragged down the overall narrative, but other departments at 3M are holding back, and the market reaction was too strong.

The market is really too easy to scare. Isolating the automotive sector, looking at 3M, is actually pretty good.

Indeed, when one sector drags down the overall narrative, it gets arbitrarily wiped out. The market's anxiety is real.

The market's reaction of 3M this time was indeed excessive. After stripping away the noise from the automotive sector, the fundamentals are actually quite good.
