3M's Trading Volume Surges 126% to Rank 38th Amid Mixed Q2 Results

On July 18, 2025, 3M's trading volume reached 18.03 billion, a significant increase of 126.22% compared to the previous day, ranking 38th in the day's stock market. 3M (MMM) fell by 3.65%.

3M has reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, revealing a mixed performance. The company's earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter were $2.50, slightly below the consensus estimate of $2.55. However, revenue for the quarter came in at $8.7 billion, surpassing the expected $8.6 billion. The company's net income for the quarter was $1.3 billion, a decrease from the previous year's $1.4 billion. 3M's CEO, Mike Roman, attributed the decline in net income to higher raw material costs and increased investments in research and development.

Despite the challenges, 3M has increased its full-year 2025 guidance. The company now expects earnings per share to be in the range of $9.70 to $10.10, up from the previous range of $9.50 to $9.90. Revenue is expected to be between $34.5 billion and $35.0 billion, an increase from the previous range of $34.0 billion to $34.5 billion. The company's strong performance in its healthcare and safety & graphics segments contributed to the improved outlook.

3M's stock price has been volatile in recent months, reflecting the company's mixed financial performance and the broader market's uncertainty. However, the company's strong cash flow and commitment to returning value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases have provided some stability to the stock. 3M's dividend yield is currently around 3.5%, making it an attractive option for income-focused investors.
