MMM

Over the past six months (April 2026 - October 2026), 3M reported adjusted EPS of $2.14 in Q1 2026, a 14% year-over-year increase, with its adjusted operating margin expanding to 23.8%. In May 2026, shares slipped 2% after Australia's federal government initiated legal action seeking over A$2 billion in damages related to PFAS contamination. Q2 2026 results were strong, with adjusted EPS of $2.40 and revenue of $6.5 billion, both exceeding estimates, and organic sales grew by 5.4% year-over-year, leading management to raise full-year adjusted EPS guidance. However, the Consumer segment experienced a 2.1% decline in organic revenues in Q2 2026 due to muted discretionary spending. An insider, Karin Chavez, sold 3,635 shares in early August 2026. As of October 6, 2026, 3M's shares had risen 12.9% over the preceding six months. Analyst sentiment has been mixed, with some maintaining 'Hold' ratings while others have issued 'Buy' ratings, and price targets have seen adjustments.
