Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 12 valuation models · updated today
Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from $40.57 to $76.87 (+89.5%) since Aug 6, 2026. Share price +16.6% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 58% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($163.57). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($46.42 to $163.57). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (63/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $66.20 – $183.78 · fair‑value band $46.42 – $163.57 · the $182.65 price screens above the $76.87 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
3M Company (MMM) currently trades at $182.65, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $76.87, implying the stock looks roughly 57.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, 3M Company generated revenue of $25.0B at a net margin of 11.1%. Revenue grew 1.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 71.5%. Net debt stands at $7.7B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $46.42 (bear case) to $163.57 (bull case); at $182.65, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades near its 52-week high and 32% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 11% fair-value upside, at -58%, MMM screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 12 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($86.12) versus Asset-Based ($6.04). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
