3M lifts 2026 EPS guidance to $9.10–$9.15 as Q3 sales hit $6.6B and adjusted EPS rises 12%

3M raised its full-year 2026 earnings guidance after third-quarter sales rose 1.0% to $6.6 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.50, up 12% from a year earlier, on a new basis that treats intangible asset amortisation as a special item. The company now expects adjusted EPS of $9.10 to $9.15 for the year. It also forecasts adjusted free cash flow of about $4.8 billion. Organic sales grew 3.3% on an adjusted basis. Adjusted operating margin reached 26.2%, up 110 basis points. Operating cash flow was $0.5 billion, and adjusted free cash flow was $1.2 billion. 3M also expanded its work with Amazon on data centre products. It issued Amazon a warrant to buy up to 3.2 million shares, tied to $6 billion in cumulative sales over seven years.

It is Genius Electronic Optical's first private placement; the funds will go to working capital, debt repayment, and future business development. The partnership will target AI data centres and high-performance computing. Genius is developing co-packaged optics components, with staged mass production planned for 2027 and 2028.

3M to invest $150M in Genius Electronic Optical for AI data centre optical comms

Taiwanese lens maker Genius Electronic Optical (3406) has agreed a strategic partnership with 3M to develop, make and expand capacity for optical communications products. 3M plans to invest $150 million (about NT$4.81 billion) in a private placement. It will buy 5,534,440 new common shares at NT$869.6 each, giving it a stake of about 4.68%. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions. Genius will use the proceeds for working capital, repaying bank loans, and future funding needs. The two firms aim to target high-speed optical communications, AI data centres, and high-performance computing. A European brokerage said Genius could qualify as a leading fibre array unit module supplier for Nvidia's co-packaged optics project. Unlike rival Largan, it focuses on high-precision optical components inside the modules.

Six high-yield dividend stocks fail the payout test, from Ford to Whirlpool's 9.37% mirage

High dividend yields can hide weak payouts, and a four-step test helps separate real income from traps. It checks earnings with one-offs stripped out, full-year free cash flow against dividends, management's explanation, and whether debt funds the gap. Ford yields 4.99% and shows a trailing EPS of -$1.88, caused by $4.2B in one-time charges. Its debt-to-equity of 4.66 leaves the $0.60 dividend exposed to a downturn. Pfizer yields 6.03%, but its free cash flow yield is 5.60%. Clorox's roughly $405M of free cash flow fell short of about $601M in dividends. Whirlpool fails every step. It cut its quarterly dividend from $1.75 to $0.90 in 2025, paid no common dividend in the second quarter of 2026, and its shares are down 59.48% since the end of 2025. 3M and Dow pass, with payouts now covered by cash.

3M turnaround ahead of schedule with 25% margin target, but PFAS lawsuits persist in Montana and Australia

3M's CEO William Brown reports the company's turnaround is ahead of schedule, with adjusted organic sales growing 5.4% in Q2 and margins tracking above 25% by 2027. On-time delivery improved from the low 80% range to around 90%, whilst product launches increased from 125 three years ago to an expected 350 this year. However, legal challenges persist. A Montana federal judge recently allowed a nationwide PFAS class action involving firefighter gear to proceed. Additionally, the Australian government is seeking more than A$2 billion in damages over PFAS-containing firefighting foam. Institutional interest grew, with hedge fund ownership rising from 63 funds in Q1 to 72 in Q2. Short interest remained low at 1.79% of float.
