The quarter ending September 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.
3M Co.’s own guidance, from its results release of October 20, 2026. It is the company’s statement of what it expects, not a forecast of ours.
| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $6.6B | $6.5B | +1.03% |
| Profit | $1.4B | $834M | +64.63% |
| Profit per share | $2.63 | $1.55 | +69.68% |
| Free Cash Flow | $230M | $1.5B | -85.05% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
A short summary of each call — what the quarter showed, what management expects and whether they delivered on what they said last time — with the full transcript underneath.

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
The quote and the company description come from 3M Co.’s Item 2.02 8-K filed October 20, 2026; the table is built from its quarterly reports. Read the release on EDGAR Share prices are split- and dividend-adjusted.
