Look for this stock to outperform the S&P quite handsomly now that they have settled the huge lawsuit pending and have taken the time to get thier financial ducks in a row. The P/TBV is attractive, as well as being able to look forward to the eventual restoration of dividends currently under restriction to further boost share prices which stand to improve quite a bit on there own thanks to the well known quality products made and sold by Imation Corp. Imation's former affiliation with 3M was not due to this company being a stinker and producing lousy products that nobody will buy. 3M did not get where it is by affiliating with cheesy products and garbage heads at the helm of it's operations, indeed they did so thanks to affiliations with excellence and inovations driving efficiencies and markets with thier reliable production of high quality and ingenious staff that is generally at the forefront of 3M's many successful endevors and Imation Corp. will prove no different than the others and the return to formerly lofty share price for Imation is not a question of if, but when?

FCF over the last 7 years shows its a very profitable company at 20%(per year average) on the current market price. Price to book is at 0.4 which is extremely cheap. Current ratio is at 2 which is good enough for any defensive investors. To me it seems like a screaming buy in fact i bought 5k$ worth of it today.

The company seems to be having trouble because most of their production is into a dying technology which is magnetic tape memory, but i believe they'll be able to turn things over and switch to new technology which they seems to be doing ,or are willing to at leas,t at the moment as they show on their website.

I´ve always like this company products, but it seems they lag behind the market developments of its industry... it´s also likely that they still have the 3M internal "mind set"...
