Manitowoc Company (MTW) $9.83 -5.93%

Manitowic shares are off 4% to $9.80 after the equipment maker posted a loss in line with expectations. But looks like one strategist is scooping up some put protection ahead of the company’s 10:00ET conference call as 1,000 of the Nov. $10 puts were lifted at the 80c asking price.
