Article Summary
BUY- 3M Company (NYSE: MMM) reported strong second-quarter results exceeding expectations with mid-single-digit sales growth, robust operating margins of about 25%, and double-digit EPS growth, reflecting progress on strategic priorities and building a higher-performing company. 3M Company increased full-year guidance as a result of strong first-half performance and continued momentum, though guidance does not yet reflect the acquisition of Madison Fire & Rescue, which closed on July 1, 2026. 3M cannot forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures and therefore does not provide forward-looking guidance reflecting these items.
