3M exceeds expectations in the second quarter of 2025

attachment

The industrial group $MMM (-1,62%) exceeded market expectations in the second quarter of 2025 - at least in terms of turnover and profit:

  • Turnover: USD 6.34 billion
  • → Expectation: USD 6.10 billion
  • +1,4 % compared to the previous year, 4% above estimates
  • Adjusted earnings per share (EPS): USD 2.16
  • → Expectation: USD 2.01
  • 7.4 % above expectations


📈 Management has raised the annual forecast for adjusted earnings to USD 7.88 per share (mean value) - a slight increase of 1,6 %.

But there are also downsides:

  • Operating margin: 18 % (previous year: 20.3 %)
  • Free cash flow:
    USD -1.16 billion (previous year: USD +1.17 billion)
  • Organic sales growth: +1.5% YoY (constant year-on-year)

📌 Market capitalization: USD 85.59 bn


💬 Conclusion: 3M delivers solid sales and earnings figures, but the negative free cash flow and falling margin raise questions. The share remains exciting - especially for long-term investors.
