MMM's shiller PE of 10.72 is currently 53% below its 10 year historical mean of 23.01. MMM's Shiller PE is also ranked better than 61% in its industry. A 10-20 year mean reversion would imply a PT of 180-190. With that being said there would have to be quite a bit of fundamental changes for the company to surpass the mean and reclaim its 10 year max PE of 37.1. Any significant milestone in the litigation with probable outcomes may provided the required stabilization for reversion to mean to begin.
