3M pays a quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share. Its most recent payment had an ex-date of August 24, 2026 and was paid on September 11, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $3.07 per share, a yield of about 1.9% at a share price of $161.89.
The table covers two distinct periods. Through February 2024, the quarterly rate was much higher, between $1.48 and $1.51, with one-cent raises on each February payment. With the payment that went ex in May 2024, the rate was reduced to $0.70, about 54% lower. The source shows no current growth streak. Since then, 3M has raised the rate twice, again with the February payment. It went to $0.73 in 2025, up about 4.3%, and to $0.78 in 2026, up about 6.8%. That puts the current rate about 11% above the $0.70 set in May 2024. Payments by calendar year were $2.92 in 2025, the first full year at the lower rate.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-November 2026 and be paid around December 12. Raises in the table have come with the payment after that, which goes ex in February.
