3M stock (US88579Y1010) closed at USD 168.56 on September 4, 2026, and MarketBeat puts the consensus price target at USD 177.21. The same snapshot shows fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 8.80 to USD 8.95, with the target range sitting above the shares' latest close.
Guidance keeps the frame
According to ad-hoc-news on September 8, 2026, MarketBeat says 3M's fiscal 2026 EPS guidance is USD 8.80 to USD 8.95, while consensus expectations are around USD 8.96 per share. That leaves a narrow gap of only USD 0.01 between the top of guidance and the consensus figure.
The same report says Zacks values 3M at 17.7 times forward earnings, above an industry average of 14.9 times on September 7, 2026. For investors, that valuation gap is the clearest tension in the setup.
Price versus target
MarketBeat's consensus target of USD 177.21 implies roughly 5.2 percent upside from the September 4 close of USD 168.56. The stock also traded above its guided 2026 EPS band only in the sense that the market is already pricing the full-year profit range into the shares.
Current quote
