3M Business (MMM), a technology company that manufactures goods for different markets, from healthcare to shipping, records continuing recovery. The company will surpass its own revenue estimate for the year if revenues continue to rise at the current rate.
It is estimated that 3M’s fourth-quarter earnings will be between $8.2 billion and $8.4 billion. Revenues hit $23.6 billion in the first nine months of this year. Thus, those may vary from $31.8 billion to $32 billion at the end of the full year. Wall Street analysts’ estimates are very similar to the company’s own forecast. The revenue trends in October and November, however, show that 3M will beat both the predictions of Wall Street and its own.
