By Adriano Marchese

3M is projecting faster revenue growth in 2026 after closing out the fourth quarter with an uptick in sales.

The industrial and consumer products company said Tuesday that it expects adjusted total sales growth of 4% in 2026 from $24.3 billion in 2025.

Adjusted earnings per share, which strip out exceptional items and one-off costs, are expected to be between $8.50 to $8.70, up from $8.06 in 2025.

Adjusted operating cash flow is forecasted to be between $5.6 billion to $5.8 billion.

Chairman and Chief Executive William Brown said the company is on a clear path to meet or exceed the 2027 financial commitments it set out to reach at its Investor Day in 2025.

In the fourth quarter, 3M posted net income of $577 million, or $1.07 a share, down from $728 million, or $1.33 a share, in the same quarter a year ago.

The company logged 56 cents for net costs for significant litigations in the quarter.

Adjusted earnings, came to $1.83 a share. According to FactSet, analysts were expecting $1.80 a share.

Sales for the quarter rose 2.1% to $6.1 billion, beating analyst expectations of $6.01 billion.
