Adds analyst comment in paragraphs 8 and 9

July 18 (Reuters) - 3M MMM.N raised its full-year profit forecast and projected a smaller tariff-related hit to its 2025 earnings on Friday, weeks after the U.S. and China arrived at a trade truce, sending shares of the industrial giant up nearly 4% in premaket trading.

As trade tensions show signs of easing, following agreements between the U.S. and other countries including the UK and Vietnam, companies have begun to reevaluate the potential financial fallout.

Pharmaceutical major Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N on Wednesday halved its tariff-related cost projection to $200 million this year.

3M, meanwhile, cut its estimates of a net hit to 2025 profit to 10 cents per share, down from 20 cents to 40 cents, and raised its full-year adjusted profit forecast to $7.75 to $8 per share, from $7.60 to $7.90 it had forecast earlier.

In April, the company had estimated an $850 million potential annualized impact from tariffs before exemptions, with $675 million tied to U.S. and China tariffs.

3M's profit forecast raise comes after China, which accounts for roughly 10% of the company's global revenue, signed a comprehensive trade deal with the U.S. in June.

Under the agreement, the U.S. has imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all Chinese imports, 20% on goods associated with President Donald Trump's accusation that China had not done enough to stem the flow of fentanyl, and kept the existing 25% tariffs from his first term.

Evelyn Chow, analyst at investment management firm Neuberger Berman, expects a slew of bottom line beats from industrial companies in the second quarter after 3M's results.

"Tariffs have been better than expected," she said. "I think what's a lot less clear is whether companies are going to outperform on the top line."

Scotch tape maker 3M reported a second-quarter adjusted profit of $2.16 per share compared with Wall Street estimates of $2.01, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Total quarterly revenue came in at $6.16 billion. Analysts had expected $6.11 billion in revenue.
