  • 3M (MMM) adds $1.1B as earnings outlook improves ahead of Q2
    July 11, 2026, 1:14 PM EDT. 3M Co (MMM) shares jumped 1.4% to $157.52 on Friday, lifting its market cap by about $1.1 billion. The move came even as the company faces ongoing legal pressure tied to a New York lawsuit over PFAS chemicals. Sell-side analysts bumped their 2026 adjusted EPS estimate to $8.73 from $8.66, just above the company's outlook of $8.50 to $8.70. The Q2 EPS call is now at $2.25, with the earnings report due July 21. The stock fell 1.8% for the week, trailing the S&P 500, but the analyst price target median stands at $178, roughly 13% above Friday's close. Q1 EPS was up 14%, though cash is lower because of buybacks, dividends and legal payouts.
