What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of MMM's valuation, growth and risks.
MMM's trailing P/E of 25.61 sits 24.7% below the Industrials median of 34.0, a gap the peer comparison on this page labels a discount to peers. On sales, the P/S of 3.50 is 12.5% below the sector median of 4.0.
Revenue rose 1.00% in the latest quarter compared with the same quarter a year earlier, leaving it 10.7 percentage points behind the Industrials median of 11.7%. Margins are solid, with a net margin of 14.01% and an operating margin of 23.69%. Return on equity stands at 72.97%, above the sector median of 17.8%. Debt-to-equity is 3.04, and the trailing dividend yield is 1.79%, equal to $3.07 per share each year.
MMM's most recent quarterly report, released on October 20, 2026, showed EPS of $2.46 against an estimate of $2.38, a beat of 3.36%. In the first session after the report, the share price moved up 1.97%.
MMM has topped the EPS estimate in all 6 of its recent reports. Still, the share price fell in the next session after 3 of those 6 beats. Analysts forecast EPS of $9.13 for this fiscal year, a rise of 13.2%, and $9.91 for the year after, a rise of 8.5%.
Day to day, MMM's shares typically move 1.59%, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 1.06. Insiders sold $26.0M of stock over the last 18 months and made no open-market purchases. Sales like these are often planned in advance or made to cover tax on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than buying would.

- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 52-week high at $184.90 above the price, and the 50-day SMA at $168.77 below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 56.6 is in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive. Investors often treat readings above 70 or below 30 as signs that momentum has become stretched.
- The share price moved up 1.97% in the first session after the October 20, 2026 report, and MMM has beaten estimates in 6 of the last 6 reports.
MMM trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($168.77 and $160.99), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 50-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 50-day SMA at $168.77.
The next level overhead for MMM is the 52-week high of $184.90.

MMM stock price prediction 2030
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 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in MMM today could grow to about $11,851 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $23,581 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $5,956. The simulation models price only; at today's 1.79% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
MMM Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $203 for MMM by 2030 in the base case, from $172 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $102. 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.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $127 | $179 | $253 | |
| 2028 | $115 | $187 | $304 | |
