Analyst Ratings

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: 3M Company, Stifel Financial, The Walt Disney Company, Truist Financial

3M's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.17% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.85 million shares sold short, which is 1.84% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for 3M has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing 3M's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, 3M's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.56%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

The firm is well known for its extensive research and development capabilities, and it is a pioneer in inventing new use cases for its proprietary technologies. 3M is organized across three business segments: safety and industrial (representing around 44% of revenue), transportation and electronics (36%), and consumer (20%). The firm recently spun off its healthcare business, now known as Solventum. Nearly half of 3M's revenue comes from outside the Americas.
<h3>3M: Delving into Financials</h3>
Negative Revenue Trend: Examining 3M's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 31 March, 2025, the company experienced a decline of approximately -1.03% in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the revenue growth lags behind its industry peers. The company achieved a growth rate lower than the average among peers in Industrials sector.
Interpreting Earnings Metrics:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: The company sets a benchmark with a high gross margin of 41.59%, reflecting superior cost management and profitability compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): With an EPS below industry norms, 3M exhibits below-average bottom-line performance with a current EPS of 2.05.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: 3M's debt-to-equity ratio is notably higher than the industry average. With a ratio of 3.15, the company relies more heavily on borrowed funds, indicating a higher level of financial risk.
Analyzing Market Valuation:
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: With a lower-than-average P/E ratio of 18.42, the stock indicates an attractive valuation, potentially presenting a buying opportunity.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The Price to Sales ratio is 3.32, which is lower than the industry average. This suggests a possible undervaluation based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a lower-than-industry-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 11.39, 3M presents a potential value opportunity, as investors are paying less for each unit of EBITDA.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company exhibits a lower market capitalization profile, positioning itself below industry averages. This suggests a smaller scale relative to peers.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.

Shares of companies in the broader industrial sector are trading higher amid overall market strength after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could reduce macro uncertainty that has weighed on economic outlook.

3M's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.88% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.28 million shares sold short, which is 1.92% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.95 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>3M Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746108019_0_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for 3M has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing 3M's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, 3M's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Peering Into 3M's Recent Short Interest

A rare technical signal is drawing attention on Wall Street, pointing to possible gains for U.S. stocks even as tariff concerns from major <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45027002/benzinga-bulls-and-bears-netflix-novavax-intel-and-the-market-begins-to-bounce-back" rel="noreferrer noopener">companies raise risks for the economy</a>.
According to &nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;– as tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust, (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) has gained over 5% in the past five trading sessions, driven by strong buying momentum across sectors. Tesla, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp;stock surged 10% to $285.50 Friday afternoon, heading to its best weekly performance of 2025 with a 24% gain.
Particularly, over the last three trading days, more than 70% of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) posted daily gains — a clear sign of widespread market participation.

The last time a similarly strong buying streak extended to four consecutive days was during the rebound of April 2020, following the pandemic-driven crash.
Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group LLC, highlighted the significance of this rare &#8220;breadth thrust,&#8221; noting that the S&amp;P 500 finished higher one year later in 27 of the past 28 similar instances.
A breadth thrust occurs when a large percentage of stocks rally together over several sessions, indicating broad-based investor enthusiasm rather than isolated leadership among a few mega-cap names. Historically, such patterns have preceded the start of major bull markets.

On the contrary, leaders from firms, including 3M Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) CEO William Brown, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44921668/3m-stock-surges-after-q1-beat-as-2025-outlook-flags-tariff-pressure" rel="noreferrer noopener">emphasized strategic flexibility </a>to maintain international trade ties, while others, like Steel Dynamics&#8217; Mark Millett, expressed support for certain tariffs, The Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/company-earnings-tariffs-outlooks-2025-2ff68cd7" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Wall Street Bets On Bulls, Not Tariffs, As Rare 'Breadth Thrust' Lifts Stocks

Bank Of America Securities analyst Andrew Obin maintained a Buy rating on 3M Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) with a price forecast of $170 following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MMM/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter results reported on Tuesday</a>.
The company reported net sales of&nbsp;$5.95 billion, a decline of&nbsp;1.0%&nbsp;year-over-year (Y/Y), beating the consensus of&nbsp;$5.781 billion, and adjusted EPS was&nbsp;$1.88, up 10%&nbsp;Y/Y,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44921668/3m-stock-surges-after-q1-beat-as-2025-outlook-flags-tariff-pressure" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$1.77</a>.
3M sees 2025 adjusted EPS of $7.60-$7.90 (vs. cons. $7.75) and additional tariff sensitivity losses to 20 to 40 cents <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">per share</a>.
The analyst writes that the company&#8217;s results beat expectations, with strength noted in electrical markets, industrial adhesives and tapes (Safety &amp; Industrials), aerospace (Transportation &amp; Electronics), and consumer safety and well-being (Consumer).
The analyst notes that 3M estimates a total annualized tariff impact of $850 million. Still, due to the April start date and their 90-day inventory cycle, the company expects a $400 million effect before offsets in 2025.
The analyst believes the impact of Chinese import tariffs is more heavily concentrated in its consumer business.
Obin reiterated the 2025 EPS estimate at $7.60, factoring in a 40-cent headwind from tariffs (an increased $0.20 impact).
This negative effect is negated by an additional 16-cent benefit from foreign exchange (as FX assumptions are less unfavorable than 3M&#8217;s guidance), and the 10-cent operational beat in the first quarter adds the analyst.
The analyst projects a 6-cent headwind in the second through fourth quarters due to the timing of interest expenses.
Investors can gain exposure to GLW via&nbsp;ProShares Smart Materials ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TINT#NYSE">TINT</a>) and&nbsp;Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II Invesco S&amp;P Ultra Dividend Revenue ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDIV#NYSE">RDIV</a>).
Price Action: 3M shares are up 1.89% at $138.63 at the last check Thursday.
