3M (MMM) remains a core Industrials blue chip, delivering an 85% total return since October 2022, but currently trades near fair value. Q2 results were strong, with EPS and revenue beats, margin improvement, and raised guidance, though shares fell post-earnings. MMM's earnings outlook is steady, with high single-digit EPS growth expected and positive sellside sentiment, but tariff and inflation risks persist.

On Thursday, Peak Financial Advisors reported selling 18,052 shares of 3M Company worth an estimated $2.75 million, fully exiting its position in the third quarter.

ST. PAUL, Minn. , Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 3M (NYSE: MMM) today announced the following investor event: Third-quarter 2025 earnings conference call on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, at 8 a.m.

Aminex PLC (LSE:AEX) shares were lower in Monday's trade after announcing a £2.93 million (US$3.94 million) 'strategic' placing designed to fund operations until its first gas revenues from the Ntorya field, next September. Some 177.27 million new shares were sold at 1.65 pence each, and, the company said the placing replaces further use of an existing facility with its largest shareholder, Eclipse Investments.

MMM's ongoing renewal of its aging portfolio delivers accelerated growth prospects beyond historical levels, with the new product launches expected to deliver +15% YoY sales growth in FY2025. This is on top of the streamlined operations, expansion of its machine utilization, increased sales effectiveness, and improved pricing power, with it triggering the raised FY2025 guidance. The raised FY2025 Free Cash Flow guidance also lent strength to MMM's secure dividend investment thesis and ongoing share retirement cadence.
