Deutsche Bank last night downgraded 3M to Hold from Buy with a price target of $178, down from $199. The firm now sees "only very low-single digit upside" to consensus estimates through 2028. In addition, 3M's shares have closed the valuation gap relative to its peers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Deutsche cites limited upside to the price target for the downgrade.

Reason
Barclays raised the firm's price target on 3M to $190 from $180 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares as part of a 2026 outlook for the multi-industry group. A neutral sector view remains appropriate into next year, but expectations are low on end-markets beyond data centers, electric utilities and aerospace, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
UBS raised the firm's price target on 3M to $190 from $184 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Northrop Grumman's existing portfolio continues to have a strong multi-year growth outlook even before considering upside potential from B-21 reconciliation and repricing, a possible F/A-XX win, and Golden Dome exposure, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The company has taken a prudently conservative outlook on these outcomes, the firm adds.
