3M Stock Stable After Q1 Earnings Beat

3M reported adjusted Q1 earnings of $2.14 per share, beating the $1.98 consensus, as cost cuts and price increases offset higher tariffs and inflation. The print suggests improving operating discipline and pricing power despite ongoing input-cost pressures. The result is positive for the stock but is likely a modest, single-name move rather than a broader market catalyst.
