MMM

3M Company MMM is scheduled to release second-quarter 2026 results on July 21, before market open.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MMM’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $6.38 billion, indicating growth of 3.6% from the prior-year quarter’s figure. The consensus mark for earnings is pinned at $2.27 per share, which increased 1.3% in the past 60 days. The figure indicates growth of 5.1% from the year-ago quarter's figure.The company delivered better-than-expected results in each of the trailing four quarters, the earnings surprise being 4.6% on average. In the last reported quarter, its earnings of $2.14 per share beat the consensus estimate of $2.02 by 5.9%.Let’s see how things have shaped up for 3M this earnings season. 3M’s Safety and Industrial segment’s results are expected to perform well, driven by strength across personal safety, industrial adhesives and tapes, abrasives and electrical markets. Stable demand for electrical infrastructure products like medium voltage cable accessories and insulation tapes is likely to have been a tailwind as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.03 billion, indicating approximately a 6.1% increase from the year-ago number.Solid momentum in the aerospace and defense, commercial branding and automotive markets is likely to have supported 3M‘s Transportation and Electronics segment’s performance. Also, strength in the commercial branding and automotive markets, driven by demand for new products and expanding sales coverage, is proving beneficial for the segment as well.Healthy demand across the home and auto care business is expected to have benefited the Consumer segment’s performance in the second quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from the Consumer segment is pegged at $1.29 billion, indicating an increase of 1.4% year over year. However, persistent weakness in the packaging and expression and home improvement businesses is likely to mar the segment’s results.Nevertheless, 3M has undertaken structural reorganization actions that include streamlining its geographic footprint, simplifying the supply chain and optimizing manufacturing operations. These actions are expected to have supported margins in the to-be-reported quarter.However, MMM’s performance has been negatively impacted by high costs and expenses. The company’s solid investments in res...

Investing.com -- JPMorgan upgraded shares of 3M and Emerson Electric to Overweight from Neutral ahead of upcoming quarterly earnings, citing improving growth prospects, supportive end-market trends and expectations for stronger earnings momentum into 2027. For 3M, the brokerage raised its December 2026 price target to $180 from $178, saying the company is entering a phase where revenue growth should increasingly support earnings expansion. JPMorgan expects second-quarter organic growth to exceed 3%, driven by strength in data centers, semiconductors and industrial markets, offsetting continued weakness in consumer electronics and automotive. It also expects pricing power, productivity gains, portfolio optimization and lower PFAS-related costs to support margins through 2027. JPMorgan forecasts second-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.26, slightly above Wall Street estimates, with organic growth of 3.2% and operating margins of 24.6%. The bank believes strong order trends, a growing backlog and improving demand across all three business segments position 3M for accelerating growth in the second half of 2026. For Emerson Electric, JPMorgan raised its rating to Overweight while maintaining a $157 price target, arguing that concerns over the pace of second-half growth overlook the company's sizable backlog and improving process industry cycle. The brokerage expects long-cycle projects, including power, LNG, semiconductor and aerospace investments, to support revenue growth, while Middle East rehabilitation work could provide additional upside not included in company guidance. The bank said Emerson's backlog increased 9% year over year, providing visibility into a sharp acceleration in organic growth during the second half of fiscal 2026. It also expects improving capital spending, resilient pricing and easing tariff pressures to drive margin expansion into 2027, despite continued softness in Europe and China's chemicals market.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when Honeywell International Inc. (HON) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 23. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise. This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.80 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -67.3%. Revenues are expected to be $5.01 billion, down 51.6% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 58.78% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for...
