IBM (IBM) Offering Possible 14.42% Return Over the Next 26 Calendar Days

IBM's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on IBM is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $187.50 short put and a strike $182.50 long put offers a potential 14.42% return on risk over the next 26 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $187.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.63 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.37 would be incurred if the stock dropped below the $182.50 long put strike price.

Reuters – Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) has deployed a new IBM mainframe computer system that reduces downtime and will continue to buy equipment from IBM, the two companies said Tuesday. IBM's joint announcement with ICBC, the world's largest bank by market capitalization, is an effort to signal IBM's ongoing business with China's state-owned banks and comes several months after widely circulated media reports suggested China's central government had ordered banks to remove IBM equipment due to cybersecurity concerns. Seeking to recover from the public relations hit, IBM has announced in recent weeks a string of deals in China to assure investors of its future in the market as well as salvage its reputation with potential Chinese buyers. In a statement released only in Chinese, ICBC chief technology officer Lin Xiaoxuan said ICBC “beginning 30 years ago was the first bank in mainland China to introduce IBM mainframes, which have since played an important role in our IT operations.
