Is 3M Company stock undervalued or overvalued?

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 13x. In other words, 3M Company shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

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 1.9045. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks 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 stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

3M Company's EBITDA

3M Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $8.1 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a 3M Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

3M Company stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 38.56% of net profits

Recently 3M Company has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% 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 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In 3M Company's case, that would currently equate to about $4.41 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 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have 3M Company's stocks ever split?

3M Company's stocks were split on a 1196:1000 basis on 31 March 2024 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1196 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your 3M Company stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 16.4% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for 3M Company stocks, which in turn could have impacted 3M Company's stock price.

3M Company stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, 3M Company's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $73.853 up to $140.5923. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while 3M Company's is 1.001. This would suggest that 3M Company's stocks 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).
