Read MoreHide Full Article

3M Company (MMM - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 6% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend for the company—as the stock is now up 11.3% in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company reported better-than-expected third-quarter 2017 results.

The company has seen three positive estimate revisions in the past few weeks, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also moved higher over the past few weeks, suggesting that more solid trading could be ahead for 3M Company. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

3M Company currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) while its Earnings ESP is negative.  

Another stock worth considering in the Diversified Operations industry is Macquarie Infrastructure Company which carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
