2. 3M Company (NYSE:MMM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 60

3M Company (NYSE:MMM) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer praised the company’s CEO during the episode, as he said:

3M also reports, and this conglomerate has been quietly surprising people lately. CEO Bill Brown, formerly of L3Harris, has been putting his stamp on the company ever since he took over CEO about two years ago. Known as a vicious competitor, he’s made the company far more nimble. I like 3M ahead of the quarter. I like Bill Brown ahead of many other CEOs.

3M Company (NYSE:MMM) is a conglomerate that provides tech-related industrial, electronics, and consumer products. During the December 11, 2025, episode, Cramer highlighted the company’s new product launches, as he commented:

The quarter from 3M, it was superb. This company used to be a fount of new products. They got bogged down by all kinds of litigation related to forever chemicals that wrecked groundwater. Now, 3M is back to innovating. 70 new products launched in the third quarter, 196 year to date. The electronics and safety end market, after putting up slow growth for ages,… better than expected.

As CEO Bill Brown, in his tour de force quarter, said, ‘Our third quarter performance gives us confidence we’re on the right track and reflects the culture of excellence we’re building inside the company as we continue to drive the rigor and op tempo necessary to deliver on our strategic priorities.’ Okay, that may sound like authentic Wall Street gibberish, but it isn’t for those who know how low 3M had fallen. It’s all you need to know is why 3M rallied $11 and 86 cents, 7.66% today.
