Vertical Research Analyst Gives 3M Moderate Buy Rating

Vertical Research analyst has given 3M (MMM) a Buy rating and price target. This recommendation comes after the company's latest earnings release for the quarter ending June 30, which showed a quarterly revenue of $6.5 billion and a net profit of $933 million.

In comparison to last year, 3M reported an increase in revenue by $166 million and a net profit of $210 million. The analyst consensus is Moderate Buy with a price target consensus of $189.00, representing a 12.17% upside.

However, the recent corporate insider activity shows negative sentiment towards the stock. Over the past quarter, there has been an increase in insiders selling their shares of MMM compared to earlier this year. For example, EVP John Patrick Banovetz sold 7,880 shares for a total of $1,343,067.20 in July 2026.
