3M surges 6% after Q2 earnings beat, raises full-year outlook

3M Co. reported second-quarter 2026 earnings that topped analyst estimates and raised its full-year guidance, sending shares up more than 6% in early trading Monday.

"The strong operational execution across our businesses drove the beat, and we see continued momentum into the second half," said Mike Roman, chief executive officer of 3M, in a statement accompanying the release.

The industrial conglomerate posted adjusted earnings per share that exceeded the consensus estimate compiled by Bloomberg, while revenue also came in above expectations. The company did not disclose specific quarterly figures in its preliminary announcement. 3M raised its full-year 2026 adjusted earnings per share forecast, citing improved demand across its safety and industrial, transportation and electronics, and health care segments.

The guidance raise signals management expects the operational improvements to sustain through year-end. Investors will watch the Q2 earnings call for segment-level margin details and organic growth commentary.
