3M spin-off Solventum's second-quarter profit fell more than 70% on Thursday, hurt by limited sales growth of its wound care and surgical sterilization products and higher expenses, as it navigates functioning as a newly independent company.
Since its spinoff from 3M, Solventum has been under-covered and misunderstood by the market.
Solventum (NYSE: SOLV ) stock is up on Tuesday after activist investor Trian Capital took a stake in the healthcare company. According to insider sources, Trian Capital has taken a large stake in the company.
