3M Company stock (ISIN US88579Y1010) closed at USD 162.86 on the NYSE on September 10, 2026, down 0.94 percent from the prior close of USD 164.40 as investors digested the latest balance sheet moves and dividend stream.
Debt offering and guidance frame 2026 expectations
On September 10, 2026, 3M announced the successful closing of a EUR 1.5 billion euro-denominated bond offering in three tranches maturing in 2028, 2031 and 2034, with coupons between 3.500 percent and 4.100 percent, a transaction disclosed via a Form 8-K filing according to Kalkine Media on September 10, 2026.
The euro notes strengthen 3M's funding flexibility at a time when management is guiding for fiscal 2026 earnings per share between USD 8.80 and USD 8.95, a range cited as the official EPS outlook by MarketBeat on September 11, 2026.
From an operating standpoint, 3M most recently reported first-quarter 2026 sales of USD 6.0 billion, up 1.3 percent year on year, while GAAP EPS came in at USD 1.23, about 40 percent lower than the prior-year quarter as higher other expenses offset stronger operations, data that stem from an 8-K filing summarized by StockTitan.
Analyst stance and dividend stream support the shares
Coverage compiled by MarketBeat on September 11, 2026 indicates that 3M stock carries an average rating of Hold from 15 research firms, with an average 12-month price target of USD 177.21, roughly 8.8 percent above the latest NYSE close of USD 162.86.
The same overview notes that management's fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 8.80 to USD 8.95 compares with the recent GAAP EPS of USD 1.23 for the first quarter of 2026, underscoring expectations for a rebound over the remainder of the year despite the earlier drag from non-operating items, as highlighted by StockTitan.
In addition to the guidance and analyst targets, 3M continues to return cash to shareholders through a regular quarterly dividend, with recent filings cited by MarketBeat describing a scheduled payout of USD 0.78 per share to stockholders of record on August 24, 2026, payable on September 11, 2026.
