3M's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.08% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.93 million shares sold short, which is 1.87% 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.

<h3>3M Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1753459228_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 6.39%, 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>

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around 3M?

A weakening U.S. dollar is discreetly helping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">some ETFs</a> to outperform their size during this earnings season, particularly those comprised of globally exposed American titans. 
But before investors get caught up in the greenback-driven glow, experts caution: all that moves isn&#8217;t necessarily real growth.
Also Read:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/07/46488992/us-dollar-can-lose-its-supremacy-premium-if-fed-interferes-with-bond-market-currencies-are-release-valve-for-unsustainable-fiscal-policy"> US Dollar Can Lose Its &#8216;Supremacy Premium&#8217; If Fed Interferes With Bond Market: Currencies Are &#8216;Release Valve For Unsustainable Fiscal Policy&#8217;</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Dollar&#8217;s Slump And The ETF Sweet Spot</h2>
The U.S. dollar has fallen about 10% this year, battered by trade policy whiplash, debt worries, and decelerating growth, per a Reuters report. That weakness has boosted foreign earnings for multinational U.S. companies, and by proxy, juiced the payouts of ETFs that own them.
Industry ETFs such as the Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCR#NYSE">VCR</a>), SPDR Industrial Select Sector ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>) and iShares U.S. Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYW#NYSE">IYW</a>) are in the sweet spot. These funds allocate heavily to firms generating substantial revenue overseas, which are now profiting from favorable currency translation.
For instance, VCR component PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) stated the dollar downturn assisted it in projecting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46463845/pepsico-delivers-the-fizz-in-q2-sweetens-outlook-on-subdued-dollar-headwind">less-than-anticipated annual profit decline</a>, the Reuters report noted. XLI component 3M (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46491058/post-it-maker-3m-defies-tariff-headwinds-with-strong-q2-and-outlook-boost">profit beat in Q2 </a>with FX gains doing some heavy lifting.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why the Market Isn&#8217;t Celebrating (Yet)</h2>
Even though FX is benefiting the bottom line, investors do not trust it. Wall Street typically discounts foreign exchange-driven earnings surprises as optical, not fundamental.
This is particularly applicable to ETF investors who might believe they&#8217;re surfing a trend, only to realize it&#8217;s all flash, no substance. Constant-currency beats, those FX-adjusted, tend to get more rewarded than FX-led ones, says Goldman Sachs.
What does it mean? Don&#8217;t expect a lift in earnings to be followed by a lift in ETF prices unless it&#8217;s preceded by actual demand growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When FX Becomes A Tailwind For ETFs</h2>
Still, the impact is real. Based on two decades of data, every 1% depreciation in the dollar improves S&amp;P 500 EPS growth by about 0.6 percentage points, according to LSEG data cited in the Reuters report. That's not nothing, especially for ETFs tracking international-facing sectors.
IYW has experienced indirect support from names like Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which generate over half of their revenues from international locations.
Even thematic ETFs such as the Invesco International BuyBack Achievers ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPKW#NASDAQ">IPKW</a>), which is skewed toward U.S. companies with aggressive foreign strategies, might gain if the dollar is weak.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs To Watch If The Dollar Remains Soft</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>VCR (Consumer Discretionary): Large global brands such as Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), and Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>).</li>
<li>XLI (Industrials): High exposure to cyclical multinationals with international sales.</li>
<li>IYW (Technology): FX-bolstered cash flow machines such as Microsoft and Apple.</li>
<li>SPY / VOO (S&amp;P 500): Wide, but still ~38% international exposure.</li>
<li>IPKW/ iShares International Select Dividend ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDV#BATS">IDV</a>): Dividend or buyback ETFs with heavy overseas tilts.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>
ETF holders could be quietly profiting from the decline of the greenback, but such gains can disappear as suddenly as they began. Most of these gains are less about consumer enthusiasm and more about currency arithmetic, and that makes all the difference when macro is choppy.
Appreciate the tailwind, by all means. But don&#8217;t confuse a currency flutter with a structural break.

Tech News (July 14–July 18): China Cuts US Debt, Fed Signals Rate Shift, Netflix And TSMC Lead Earnings Beat; Meta-AWS Push AI

It&#8217;s a cautious end to the week on Wall Street, as earnings from Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/07/46498606/netflixs-blockbuster-profits-overshadowed-by-anemic-engagement">failed to impress investors</a>. 
Meanwhile, continued trade tensions kept investors on the sidelines, preventing further gains in tech-heavy indexes already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">sitting near record levels.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 remained pinned near the 6,300 mark, a key level it has failed to decisively break for the past two weeks. 
The Nasdaq 100 edged down to 23,040, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 250 points, or 0.5%, by midday trading in New York.
According to the Financial Times, President Donald Trump is pushing for a sweeping 15% to 20% minimum tariff on all European Union goods. He is also rejecting any cut to the current 25% duties on EU car imports. Trump has signaled that if no deal is reached by Aug. 1, a 30% blanket tariff on EU imports could be imposed.
Despite the downbeat tone on Wall Street, fresh data on Main Street offered some positive signals. 
The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index came in at a five-month high for June. One-year inflation expectations fell to 4.4%, down from 5% in the prior month, easing concerns that tariffs are stoking broader price pressures.
In Fed talks, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller affirmed his support for a July rate cut. He said he may dissent if the Federal Open Market Committee chooses to keep rates unchanged, adding to signs of internal division within the Fed ahead of the July 30 meeting.
In commodities, gold rose 0.4% to $3,360 per ounce as the U.S. dollar weakened
In crypto, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 1.7% to $117,000 levels. The cryptocurrency is on track for a weekly decline after hitting record highs above $123,000 earlier in the week.

China's high-speed rail progress will take center stage at the US-China Rail Transit Industry Roundtable in Beijing, where U.S. firms like Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAB#NYSE">WAB</a>), Caterpillar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>), Cummins (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>), L B Foster Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSTR#NASDAQ">FSTR</a>) and 3M Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) will participate.
What Happened: China&#8217;s high-speed rail development has been progressing at an impressive pace, surpassing the United States. The US-China Rail Transit Industry Roundtable is expected to address this issue, with a focus on the challenges faced by American projects due to funding shortages and political pressures, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3318627/chinas-speedy-maglev-train-breaks-records-us-ambitions-go-rails?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported </a>by South China Morning Post. 
Industry representatives from both countries will also explore the potential for supply-chain collaboration in the railway sector. The event is organized by&nbsp;the China Council for the&nbsp;Promotion of International Trade.
Wang Yiwei, head of Renmin University&#8216;s Institute of International Affairs in Beijing, attributed the slow progress of high-speed rail in the United States to political and financial constraints. He highlighted President Donald Trump&#8216;s opposition to California&#8217;s high-speed rail project as an example of these challenges.
Wang pointed out that China's success in high-speed rail stems from long-term government planning, strategic investment, and centralized oversight. 
&#8220;Even if high-speed rail projects are not profitable in the short term, China can still build them for strategic reasons,&#8221; stated Wang.

Why It Matters: The U.S.-China Rail Transit Industry Roundtable comes at a time when the U.S. is facing challenges in its high-speed rail projects. In a recent development, the Trump administration decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46461319/trump-cancels-4-billion-funding-for-california-high-speed-rail-project-calls-it-disastrously-overpriced">withdraw $4 billion</a> in federal funding from California&#8217;s high-speed rail project, citing excessive costs and unmet promises. This move has further highlighted the difficulties faced by the US in competing with China&#8217;s high-speed rail advancements.
That being said, the US Department of Transportation had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45744869/us-dot-allocates-5-4-billion-for-bridge-infrastructure-fund-scraps-diversity-climate-criteria-for-applicants-report">allocated $5.4 billion</a> for the construction, replacement, or repair of bridges across the U.S. However, the department decided to remove climate change, environmental justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements from the grant application criteria.
These developments raise questions about America&#8217;s ability to keep up with China&#8217;s high-speed rail advancements and the potential impact on the country&#8217;s infrastructure and transportation sectors.

3M, Caterpillar, Cummins To Visit Beijing For Rail Supply Chain Talks As China Takes A Dig At US High-Speed Rail Delays

Post-it maker 3M Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) stock surged Friday after it reported better-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46488370/3m-reports-second-quarter-2025-results-increases-full-year-eps-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter 2025 results</a> and raised its full-year guidance.
The company posted GAAP sales of $6.3 billion, up 1.4% year over year. Adjusted sales came in at $6.2 billion, reflecting 1.5% organic growth and beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">consensus estimate</a> of $6.09 billion.
This marked 3M&#8217;s third consecutive quarter of growth across all three business groups, with 13 of 16 divisions posting gains. Growth was led by strong performance in electronics and industrials, with China up mid-single digits and EMEA remaining flat.
The adjusted operating margin expanded 290 basis points to 24.5%, driven by growth, productivity gains, and lower restructuring costs. These were partially offset by investments, tariffs, and foreign exchange impacts.

Adjusted earnings per share rose 12% year over year to $2.16, topping the Street estimate of $2.01.
By segment, Safety &amp; Industrial posted 3.6% adjusted sales growth to $2.86 billion, with adjusted operating margin expanding to 25.8% from 22.6%.
Transportation &amp; Electronics&#8217; revenue grew 1.9% to $1.94 billion, and its adjusted operating margin rose to 24.6% from 22.3%.
The Consumer segment saw modest 0.6% growth to $1.27 billion, with adjusted operating margin improving to 21.1% from 17.4% a year ago.
3M returned $1.3 billion to shareholders during the quarter and reported adjusted free cash flow of $1.3 billion, despite a $1.0 billion cash outflow from operations due to $2.2 billion in litigation-related payments.
2025 Guidance
3M now sees 2025 Adjusted EPS of $7.75-$8.0 (prior $7.60-$7.90) versus the consensus of $7.68, includes the impact from tariffs.
3M expects 2025 adjusted sales organic growth of ~2% (prior lower end of 2% to 3%), and operating cash flow of $5.1–$5.5 billion with &gt;100% free cash flow conversion.
3M raised its full-year outlook, citing stronger productivity, a more measured investment pace amid softer demand and evolving tariffs, and a reduced foreign exchange headwind of $0.05, down from $0.15 previously.
&#8220;Our 3M eXcellence operating model is the foundation for delivering on each of our strategic priorities, and it drives the operating rigor and rhythm of our performance culture. With execution improving and solid results in the first half, we have confidence in our increased full-year EPS guidance, which now embeds the expected impact of tariffs,&#8221; commented William Brown, 3M Chairman and CEO.
Price Action: At the last check on Friday, MMM shares were trading higher by 3.06% at $163.90 premarket.

Insights From Analysts:
A key takeaway for investors, according to Scott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, is the certainty of rising tariffs on numerous U.S. trading partners in the near and intermediate terms. While the recent &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8221; momentarily sidelined trade concerns, tariffs are firmly back on the policy agenda.
As the second-quarter earnings season unfolds, corporate profitability will be under intense scrutiny. Wells Fargo anticipates a mid-single-digit earnings growth rate for the second quarter, a slowdown from the previous quarter, reflecting both a slightly softer economy and the emerging tariff headwinds.
While some companies have benefited from &#8220;buying ahead&#8221; to mitigate tariff impacts, others are now feeling the pressure on their bottom lines.
Wren highlights that S&amp;P 500 companies have generally enjoyed robust operating profit margins, around 14-15% since late 2021, exceeding the long-term average. This provides some capacity to absorb tariff costs. However, investors will be keenly focused on how much of these additional expenses will be passed on to consumers and the ultimate impact on earnings.
Wells Fargo continues to favor Information Technology and Communication Services for their expected strong earnings. They also see improved comparisons later this year and into 2026 for Energy, Utilities, and Financials.
For now, the firm suggests trimming overvalued sectors like Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and U.S. Small Cap Equities, anticipating better buying opportunities towards the end of the year and into 2026.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 made its ninth all-time high on Thursday.
&#8220;Since 1957 (when it became 500 stocks) today was ATH number 1,250,&#8221; he added.
