3M's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on 3M is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $175.00 short call and a strike $185.00 long call offers a potential 12.61% return on risk over the next 34 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $175.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.12 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $8.88 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $185.00 long call strike price.

A previous analysis estimated 3M's total pre-tax liability at around $9 billion, which includes cleanup costs and personal injury liability, Obin said.”Negative headlines and incremental lawsuits associated with legislative and EPA actions are likely to drive de-rating of 3M shares.” MMM Price Action: Shares of 3M were trading down 3.23% at $168.49 at last check Thursday.
