New York, Jan 20, 2026, 13:47 EST — Regular session Procter & Gamble shares climbed 1.4%, hitting $146.49 in afternoon trading, brushing off a broad selloff that dragged major U.S. indexes down over 1%.

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session 3M shares dropped 7.4% to $155.30 in early afternoon Tuesday, following the company’s 2026 profit forecast that fell just short of Wall Street’s estimates.
