Fresh Options Trio & More

Kodiak Sciences, Inc. KOD 

To kick off the trading week on Monday, we included a mention of KOD in Monday’s premarket extended watchlist. On Tuesday morning, we updated reader on the amazing run the stock made from 35.00 to a high of 72.97 (+108%).

Yesterday’s session saw a pullback from those highs followed by another highly impressive intraday swing. The stock traded in a range from a low of 53.00 to a subsequent new high of 74.50. That’s another huge daily upswing to the tune of 41% and a total increase over Monday’s low of 113%

Workday Inc. WDAY –  Options Update

We had highlighted some WDAY Puts in yesterday’s premarket report, the WDAY Weekly $167.50-165 Puts, and despite the stock closing in the green, it had some trouble early on that led to some nice multi-bag gain opportunities.

The $167.50 Puts ran from a low of 2.25 and reached 5.93 for a gain of 164%, while the $165’s traded in a range from 1.50-4.10, an upswing of 173%

AXSM Runner, Options Ideas

Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. AXSM 

We’ve got a major recent success story to tell with AXSM today. We highlighted this stock roughly seven weeks ago in our report on October 16th, and AXSM has done very little else but continue to press upward, setting new highs on a practically daily basis.

We would tag in yesterday’s report once again before seeing the stock attain new highs for the umpteenth time in recent weeks.  Our observed low following our initial alert is 20.48, and as of yesterday’s brand new high of 47.24, that marks a fantastic swing of 131% There’s no telling where this wild ride will let off, with the stock having already been firmly in Blue Sky territory for well over a week now.

Fresh Options Ideas

Workday Inc. WDAY reported on earnings in the post-market yesterday, and despite a beat on sales and earnings, the company’s forecast precipitated a shakedown of the stock. We’re going to sit on the bearish side of the fence and monitor to the WDAY Weekly $167.50-165 Puts

Excelon Corp. EXC is simply a double-bottom, potential extended-term rebound idea that we want to offer up. We’re going to begin tracking the EXC 02/21 $45-47 Calls, with the stock looking due for a recovery at any time.
