3M—(+5%)—posts solid 1Q20 results driven by 21% YoY sales growth in healthcare segment (N95 masks)—despite withdrawing full-year 2020 guidance due to COVID-19 pandemic:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/3m-reports-first-quarter-2020-103000842.html

[I-Man]

It is N-95, not N93... Your info is cracked anyway. As I said, here in NC, anything related cannot be ordered online. Kinds like China and how they are limiting internet access. This State needs some serious repair from top down....

One of our commercial customers is Tarheel Paper for God's sake, and they cannot even get Charmin products but promised a small order to my family "if" they can even secure such. And 95% of all toilet paper is made in the "old mill town" of Maiden, NC at a plant which says it is over 6 months behind now in production !! And that plant is only 20 miles from where I live...

[Lowjack]

Here is the N93 solution for you and your guys.

[DewDiligence]

Dispute? US government buys 167M masks from 3M:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-administration-orders-167-million-face-masks-from-3m-11586209922?

“The 3M saga ends very happily,” Mr. Trump said at a briefing on Monday evening. “We’re very proud to be dealing now with 3M and its CEO, Mike Roman. I just spoke with him and I thanked him for getting it done.”

[RollieBiederman]

It was a rhetorical question abou Walmart. If I buy anything at Walmart it will not be made in China. The US Consumer is raised on credit and when it comes to making big ticket purchases, and because they are buying on credit, they will buy the next best cheapest alternative which means not made in the USA because of cost. Easy credit means buying what we don't need but buyng it now. We are our own worst enemies.
We must not continue to make China the economic giant it is at the cost of our own economy. Companies should be pressured to move manufacturing back home, especially essential items like generic drugs, medical products, things we will require in the next pandemic, and it is coming. That much we all know.

[RollieBiederman]

sounds like the Russians.

[DewDiligence]

3M responds to piracy allegation:

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200405005027/en/3M-Responds-Inaccurate-Reporting-Alleged-Seizure-N95

3M issued the following statement in response to inaccurate media reports alleging a shipment of 3M personal protective equipment [i.e. masks] was seized and diverted by U.S. authorities on Friday, April 3, while in transit from a 3M China facility to Berlin Police:

“3M has no evidence to suggest 3M products have been seized. 3M has no record of any order of respirators from China for the Berlin police. We cannot speculate where this report originated.”

[RollieBiederman]

If that is the case one might then wonder why, after all this time, they never developed a source closer to home. Shipping from British Columbia to Minnesota is quite a distance and it would seem to me it was not just any pulp that was being used. Doing a bit more reading it is cedar pulp, which is plentiful in British Columbia. I wonder how many cedar forests there are here and where they are located.

[RollieBiederman]

Perhaps the feds should restrict distribution of the masks not allowing those states not enforcing isolation to receive them. Allowing church services is ridiculous unless someone believes their god is going to put down an invisible face shield in front of followers. The Iranians found that out the hard way.
Canada has always stood by America in a crisis. Go back and look what they did during 9/11-we should not be treating our northern cousins as pariahs. There are Canadian nurses and doctors risking their lives travelling from Windsor to Detroit every day to help out in overwhelmed medical facilities.

Trump: “Stop sending N95 masks to Canada!” (Canada is the only supplier of key medical supply material).

“K10S is the pulp that we’re producing for these medical supplies. We’re the only one that produces it,” in British Columbia.

A company in Canada, Harmac Pacific, is the world’s only producer of the particular grade of paper pulp used in the manufacture of surgical masks and gowns.

So now suddenly that makes things a bit awkward…

[DewDiligence]

Wood pulp is in plentiful supply in the US. Companies such as WY are producing a lot of it:

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=154710186

[RollieBiederman]

the raw materials used in the manufacture of the masks. A specific type of pulp.

[DewDiligence]

Which specific feedstock material are you referring to?

[RollieBiederman]

In case you are not aware. The Canadian government is considering a total export ban on the material used in the manufacture of the N95 face mask by 3M. The material 3M uses comes from Canada, one of the countries (our ally by the way) Trump does not want to sell masks to.

[DewDiligence]

3M responds to Trump’s tweet:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/3m-under-attack-from-white-house-pushes-back-11585922687

[DewDiligence]

Looks like much ado over nothing, as far as investors are concerned.

[I-Man]

LowJack millions of us essential contractors still having to work without these!!! Is 3M or Lowes or Home Depot, etc going to be required to pay future medical costs if any of us/our workers get corona or some other bronchial/lung issues because we are forbidden to have the very N95 masks OSHA and other require us to use working with lead paint, fiberglass, sanding products, drywall dust, mold, etc etc etc !!!???

Are we going to have to assess Homeowners massive $500.00 or more "risk fee" to even come to a service call?? How about the commercial customers we have like law firms, doctor offices, etc we have to go to? Are we going to have to charge massive "risk fees" just to go there to fix anything because we are forced to work with no protective gear we always had previous to this damn virus....???

[I-Man]

FIRE the fjknkg CEO !!

I am a small business owner and also an "essential service & repair contractor" firm in Hickory, NC area, and I and my people are forced to work without any 3M N95 masks- (forget finding any sanitizers, gloves, etc all gone everywhere) finding out this despicable CEO is selling them to foreigners !!!! I have complained to both Home Depot & Lowes why the hell they did NOT keep some for local contractors like us who have to be out there daily in homes & businesses and now we have no protection...

I thought what I was told at Lowes 4 weeks ago was some story, when manager there told me "We have been told to pull all product from shelves and sell to China" back then ! CEO of Lowes is a major asseholle as well and Both he and 3M's CEO need canned now !!!

A paradigm shift will have to take place after all this corona passes, meaning ALL GREEDY US CEO / Executive pay structures & packages will need to change, from the way they are designed to drain all cash from these companies and the workers and those outside (like us essential contractors) gets crewed time & again !!!!!!!!

https://www.foxnews.com/media/florida-emergency-official-3m-selling-masks-overseas

[DewDiligence]

Tomorrow could be ugly. But 3M will figure out a way to settle this amicably.

[Lowjack]

We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their Masks. “P Act” all the way. Big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing - will have a big price to pay! Trump.

Watch for a class action for pulling masks from retail so people can't protect themselves from the virus!

[DewDiligence]

3M issues $1.75B of 5/10/20yr notes paying 2.65%, 3.065%, and 3.70%, respectively (coupon rates, not YTM):

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/66740/000104746920001817/a2241151z424b5.htm

As a cyclical company, 3M is paying higher interest rates than (e.g.) PFE and SNY.
