3M's strong Q2 2025 results show robust sales, expanding margins, and impressive free cash flow conversion, supporting continued shareholder returns. The company has largely resolved major lawsuits, reducing legal overhang and positioning itself for future growth and stability. 3M's diversified business segments, especially safety and industrial, continue to deliver high margins and growth despite some weakness in consumer and electronics.
3M's sales remain flat, with no signs of a true turnaround, despite some resilience across business divisions and modest organic growth. Profitability has improved, but inventory and receivables increases raise concern about demand and cash flow, respectively. Full-year guidance indicates continued sluggish sales, and a slowdown in EPS and margin growth, while tariff headwinds are less severe than feared.
3M's correction after the double-beat FQ2'25 performance and the raised FY2025 adj EPS guidance implies a notable profit taking at recent heights. This is worsened by the uncertainties arising from the mixed macroeconomic environment, the ongoing tariff war, and the softer auto/consumer electronics end market. Even so, we believe that MMM remains highly compelling, as the management aims to drive renewed growth through strategic product launches in the semiconductor/aerospace end market.
