3M Co's dividend schedule
3M Co has paid quarterly across the 64 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 24, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, MMM declares a dividend a median of 9 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice MMM gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 24 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 28 raises in our record, most take effect with the February payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 6.8%, effective with the February 2026 ex-date.

Special dividends
Payments well outside MMM's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own MMM before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.
- How often does MMM pay a dividend?
- 3M Co has historically paid quarterly, across 257 payments since February 1962.
- How much does MMM pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.78 per share, with an ex-date of August 24, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $3.12 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does MMM announce its dividend?
- A median of 9 days before the ex-date, across the 56 declarations we hold.
