A federal judge allowed a class-action lawsuit alleging the company concealed PFAS health risks in firefighter gear to proceed, including RICO claims, raising prospects of substantial new liabilities. This legal development adds to existing PFAS-related risks. Meanwhile, the company is undergoing restructuring and portfolio simplification efforts. The stock recently closed at $167.94, showing mixed performance with a 27.1% gain over one year but a 45.9% decline over five years, as investors weigh restructuring progress against legal settlement risks.
