Is it risky to sell options on 3M CO (MMM) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, 3M CO (MMM) scores 89 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 26 recent news items, 10 active legal filings, 2 recent SEC events and 39 clinical-trial catalysts within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means MMM has a dated event inside the window, so an option sold here carries gap risk that time decay alone will not pay for. The score ranks event exposure, not the likely direction of the move.

MMM shows an IV Rank of 26, near the low end of its one-year range — options are relatively cheap, which favours option buyers over sellers, with a current implied volatility of about 26%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on MMM.

The 2027-01-19 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for MMM, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
