3M (MMM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
3M has demonstrated sustained growth in its consumer business over the past four quarters, driven by effective execution, strategic product launches, and enhanced marketing efforts. The company achieved a year-over-year increase in adjusted operating margins, rising by 120 basis points to 24.4% and also saw organic sales growth of 3.2%, exceeding both internal and consensus estimates. Looking ahead, 3M anticipates segment operating margins to rise by an additional 100 basis points in 2026, bolstered by improved customer engagement and incremental revenue generation.
Bears say
3M's recent financial performance has raised concerns, particularly within its consumer segment, which recorded a decline of 2.2%, reflecting weak market conditions exacerbated by poor demand for roofing granules and overall consumer spending. The company acknowledged disappointing margin expansion guidance for 2026, primarily due to the expiration of transitional service agreements related to its spun-off healthcare business, Solventum. Additionally, lingering legal issues surrounding PFAS litigation and anticipated deceleration in China's industrial production index further contribute to a negative outlook for 3M's stock.
