3M’s stock on verge of worst day since 1987 stock-market crash

Shares of 3M Co. plummeted toward its biggest one-day decline in over 30 years, after the industrial, health-care and consumer products company reported missed profit and revenue expectations, slashed its full-year outlook, and said it was cutting 2,000 jobs.

The percentage decline was second only to the 26% plunge on Oct. 19, 1987. That is the day referred to as Black Monday, with the Dow registered its biggest-ever one-day crash with a 22.6% tumble.The company behind brands such as Post-it, Scotch, Nexcare and Command, reported first-quarter results before Thursday’s open, showing net income of $891 million, or $1.51 a share, from $602 million, or 98 cents a share, in the same period a year ago.

3M cut its guidance range for 2019 adjusted EPS, which excludes litigation-related charges, to $9.25 to $9.75 from $10.45 to $10.90. On the post-earnings conference call with analysts, Chief Financial Officer Nick Gangestad said the industrial business saw a “broad-based slowdown across most of its portfolio,” highlighted by a 9% drop in its automotive business, including a 6% decline in car and light-truck builds.
