What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of MMM's valuation, growth and risks.
3M Company (MMM) trades on a trailing P/E of 29.37, which is 13.6% below the Industrials median of 34.0. The peer comparison on this page rates that multiple as broadly in line with peers. On sales, the P/S of 3.39 sits 15.3% below the sector median of 4.0.
Revenue grew 2.50% over the latest year, which is 9.2 percentage points behind the 11.7% median for Industrials. Profitability shows a net margin of 11.90% and an operating margin of 20.35%. It generates a return on equity of 81.89%, above the sector median of 17.8%. It also reports debt-to-equity of 4.38 and a trailing dividend yield of 1.86% ($3.07 a share a year).
In its latest quarterly report, on July 21, 2026, MMM posted $2.40 a share against a $2.25 estimate, beating the estimate by 6.67%. Even so, the share price rose 0.00% in the first session after the report.
MMM has beaten the EPS estimate in all 5 of its recent reports; even so, 3 of those 5 beats were followed by a lower share price the next session. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $8.94 this fiscal year (growth of 10.9%) and $9.82 the year after (growth of 9.8%).
MMM's average daily move is 1.26%. Insider sales over the last 18 months added up to $26.0M, and no insiders bought on the open market. Insider sales are often planned in advance or made to cover taxes on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than open-market purchases.

Earnings beat ›
The July 21, 2026 report beat the EPS estimate by 6.67%, and the share price rose 0.00% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, July 21, 2026
- The two levels nearest the price matter most: the 50-day SMA at $170.29 sits above it, and the 200-day SMA at $160.71 sits below.
- The 14-day RSI is 48.2, a neutral reading, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 would point to stretched momentum.
- In the first session after the July 21, 2026 report, the share price was flat at 0.00%. Across the last 5 reports, MMM beat estimates each time.
MMM is trading right at the 20-day EMA. The trend is mixed: MMM is above its 200-day average at $160.71 but below its 50-day average at $170.29. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. In the meantime the price sits between the 200-day SMA ($160.71) underneath and the 50-day SMA ($170.29) overhead.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in MMM, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in MMM today could grow to about $14,711 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $43,547 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $4,970. The simulation models price only; at today's 1.86% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
MMM Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $192 for MMM by 2030 in the base case, from $165 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $96.79. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on MMM's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.

| 2027 | $121 | $171 | $241 | |
| 2028 | $110 | $178 | $289 | |
