3M is generating impressive operational improvements under CEO Bill Brown. Last year was essentially a self-help story for the company as its end markets weren't robust.

3M's operational improvements are strengthening the buy case for the stock. The recent dip is creating a buying opportunity.

3M Company has executed a strong turnaround, but shares now trade near fair value, limiting further upside. 3M's 2026 guidance targets $5.6-$5.8B in adjusted operating cash flow, 4% sales growth, and 70-80 bps margin expansion, below the market's expectations. Litigation liabilities, including a large payment in 2027, constrain near-term financial flexibility despite robust cash reserves.

3M is an even better Buy after the market's overreaction to the softer FY2026 guidance and potential Greenland-related tariff risks, with it presenting a dollar cost averaging opportunity. The planned product launches at 350 in 2026 (+23% YoY) are likely to drive renewed top-line growth, with prior launches already delivering double digits growth and strong momentum into FY2026. MMM's valuations are compelling at FY2025 P/E of 18.15x, below sector median and historical averages, aided by the projected acceleration in adj EPS growth at high single digits through FY2027.
