Have 3M Company's shares ever split?
3M Company's shares were split on a 1196:1000 basis on 31 March 2024. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1196 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your 3M Company shares – just the quantity.

Is it worth buying 3M Company stock?
Valuing 3M Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of 3M Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
3M Company's P/E ratio
3M Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, 3M Company shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29).
3M Company's PEG ratio
3M Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.4393. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into 3M Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
3M Company's EBITDA
3M Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$6.2 billion (£4.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a 3M Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
3M Company share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, 3M Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$120.3102 up to US$172.37. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while 3M Company's is 1.152. This would suggest that 3M Company's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

3M Company share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 36.92% of net profits
Recently 3M Company has paid out, on average, around 36.92% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.71% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), 3M Company shareholders could enjoy a 1.71% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In 3M Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.89 per share.
While 3M Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that 3M Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
3M Company's most recent dividend payout was on 11 December 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
