3M | 1Q 2025: stable results, higher margins and cautiously optimistic outlook

3M entered 2025 determined to stabilize its business in a challenging global environment. The first quarter results indicate that the company is managing this task successfully - despite a slight decline in overall sales, it was able to increase adjusted earnings per share and operating margins year-on-year. CEO William Brown particularly highlighted the improvement in key operating metrics and the ongoing efforts to build a stronger performance culture across the organisation.

What's happening?

In addition to the financial results, 3M $MMis also delivering several strategic updates to support its long-term growth. These include the sale of its pharmaceutical business, the creation of a new division focused on renewable energy, the expansion of its innovation infrastructure in the Czech Republic, and a new collaboration in automated grinding. These steps show that 3M is not only responding to current market challenges, but is actively positioning itself for the future.
