3M (ISIN US88579Y1010) scheduled its third-quarter 2026 earnings conference call for October 20, 2026, while 3M stock was trading at EUR 145.78 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026. The price was up 0.30 percent versus the prior close of EUR 145.35.
Results date sets the next checkpoint
According to 3M on October 6, 2026, the company will hold the conference call at 8:00 a.m. CT. The date gives investors a defined point for testing the turnaround after the latest reported quarter.
The company reported USD 6.50 billion in adjusted sales for the second quarter of 2026, adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.40 and adjusted free cash flow of USD 1.30 billion, according to 3M. The adjusted earnings figure exceeded the USD 2.25 consensus cited by MarketBeat, a USD 0.15 difference.
Analysts keep a divided view
MarketBeat reported on October 6, 2026 that 15 analysts held a consensus Hold view, with seven Buy ratings, seven Hold ratings and one Sell rating. The average 12-month price target was USD 181.36, while fiscal 2026 earnings guidance stood at USD 8.80 to USD 8.95 per share.
The analyst split matters because the operating figures and legal exposure point in different directions. MarketBeat said second-quarter revenue rose 2.50 percent year over year, while the same report cited a 1.90 percent dividend yield and a quarterly payout of USD 0.78 per share.
3M stock stays near its yearly range
Primary-market context places 3M on the NYSE under ticker MMM. The finance quote showed a USD 139.34 to USD 184.90 52-week range and a USD 83.9 billion market capitalization as of October 7, 2026. Those figures are separate from the euro quote used for the German investor perspective.
For investors, the October 20 results call is the next quantified test: management must match the second-quarter adjusted earnings benchmark while delivering on the USD 8.80 to USD 8.95 fiscal 2026 guidance range. The combination of a Hold consensus and a target of USD 181.36 leaves the next report central to the valuation debate.
