The 19 Wall Street analysts covering 3M Co. have a median 12-month price target of $193, with estimates ranging from $125 to $230. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 19 analysts covering 3M Co., 9 rate it a Buy, 8 a Hold and 2 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks 3M Co. 65 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 3 Nov 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 3 Nov 2026, 3M Co. ranks 65 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Revisions (92 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 19 analysts implies -0.5% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks 3M Co. 65 out of 100 as at 3 Nov 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering 3M Co. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for MMM are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $125 to $230 over the next 12 months.
3M Co. returned +23.0% over the 12 months to 4 Nov 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
