3M Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-06-20 Option Contracts

Max pain occurs when 3M's market makers reach a net positive position across all 3M's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, 3M's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on 3M

Analyzing 3M's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in 3M regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when 3M's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money 3M's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with 3M's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on 3M lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if 3M's value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money 3M contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts. So keep in mind that while the payoffs on an in-the-money trade can be high, the investors could ultimately experience a more consequential loss if 3M Stock moves the wrong way.

3M Company In The Money Call Balance

When 3M's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against 3M Company stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying 3M's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on 3M Company are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

3M Current Options Market Mood

3M's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps 3M Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Put-to-Call Open Interest

Put-to-Call Volume

Unfortunately, most 3M's options investors are not very successful. 3M's option open interest and volume spread between outstanding puts and calls are regarded by many investors as reliable indicators of the overall future market direction.

Rule 16 of the current 3M contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that 3M Company will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0325% per day over the life of the 2025-06-20 option contract. With 3M trading at USD 153.21, that is roughly USD 0.0498. If you think that the market is fully incorporating 3M's daily price movement you should consider buying 3M Company options at the current volatility level of 0.52%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing 3M options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" 3M calls. Remember, the seller must deliver 3M Company stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

3M Option Chain

When 3M's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against 3M Company stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying options that are ITM or OTM, the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
3M's option chain is a display of a range of information that helps investors for ways to trade options on 3M. In general, an option chain provides a helpful tool for investors to see all available option contracts, both puts, and calls, for 3M. It also shows strike prices and maturity days for a 3M against a given expiration period. The table below combines all the option information in the form of a chain but before you use it, remember that it entails significant risk and it is not for everyone.

The market value of 3M Company is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of 3M that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of 3M's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is 3M's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because 3M's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect 3M's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between 3M's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if 3M is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, 3M's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
