(Reuters) - Diversified manufacturer 3M Co posted an 11 percent rise in fourth-quarter net income on Thursday, helped by higher earnings across most of its business lines, but sales missed Wall Street's target.
Revenue rose 2.5 percent to $7.57 billion, below the analysts' average estimate of $7.71 billion.
The company, whose products include Post-it notes and film for flat-panel televisions, backed its 2014 profit and revenue TARGET (TGT.NY).
3M (MMM.NY)said net income rose to $1.1 billion, or $1.62 per share, from $991 million, or $1.41 per share, a year earlier.
The results were in line with the analysts' average estimate of $1.62 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
