DuPont Trend Will Continue DD

Post by:

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DD), commonly referred to as DuPont, is an American chemical company that was founded in July 1802 as a gunpowder mill by Éleuthère Irénée du Pont. DD is currently trading around $68.88 in a 52 week range of $56.46 – 69.75. The company’s stock has been underperforming the market this year with shares up 5.96% year to date. Options traders seem to think that this trend will continue as order flow in DD has been decidedly bullish during the last few trading sessions. On Monday, a trader bought 2000 DD Fri 9/26 65.5 Calls (Wkly) @ $0.52. This is a bullish order and involved this trader laying out $100,000 in total premium. The stock rallied today on news that Trian Fund, a significant stakeholder in DuPont, launched a campaign to break the chemical giant into two separate businesses.
