The numbers MMM said it expected, in its earnings releases of the last 3 years, next to what it then reported for the same period. Each target links to the sentence in the release; each result to the 10-Q or 10-K it was first reported in.

Of 2 range targets with a reported result: 0 came in above the last range given, 0 within it, 2 below it.

4 full-year targets were dropped quietly: the next release, before the year ended, gave other targets for that year but said nothing about these.

Targets are read from the sentences of the EX-99 exhibits of 8-K item 2.02 filings (12 releases since 2024-01-23), without AI; in outlook tables only the first column is read. The result compares the reported number with the last range given before the period was reported. Results come from SEC's XBRL company facts, as first reported. A company's target can use its own definition (META's capital expenditures include finance lease payments, for example), so read the quote.
