3M Company (NYSE:MMM ) Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call July 18, 2025 9:00 AM ET Company Participants Anurag Maheshwari - CFO & Executive VP Chinmay Trivedi - Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Financial Planning & Analysis William M. Brown - CEO & Chairman Conference Call Participants Amit Singh Mehrotra - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division Andrew Alec Kaplowitz - Citigroup Inc., Research Division Andrew Burris Obin - BofA Securities, Research Division Charles Stephen Tusa - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Christopher M.
MMM tops Q2 estimates with 12% EPS growth and raises its 2025 outlook, supported by strength in Safety and Industrial.
I am downgrading 3M from 'Buy' to 'Hold' due to ongoing PFAS litigation risks, tariffs, and potential recession impacts limiting upside. While Q2 results beat expectations and guidance was raised, free cash flow remains weak and settlement costs are unpredictable. Management is optimistic, focusing on product launches and margin improvement, but recent financials still show a struggling company.
