BIG Options Update & More

Big Lots, Inc. BIG – Update
.
On Friday morning, we signaled some June calls in the Big Lots chain as the company dropped a beat on its quarterly earnings and revenues. Our targets were the BIG 06/19 $40-45 Calls, which also got some help from an afternoon push for the markets in general.

Of those three targets in our selected range, all three achieved multi-bag gain status for the session. Here are the single-session moves those contracts posted on the day:

BIG 06/19 $40-45 Calls
$40: 1.00-2.30 (+130%)
$42.50: .60-1.25 (+108%)
$45: .25-.75 (+200%)



Avantor, Inc. AVTR 

We also caught AVTR off of this morning’s premarket earnings calendar, and are seeing a very interesting dynamic. Even as insiders dumped close to a billion dollars worth of AVTR stock last week, we have reason to believe that going bullish here could still be the right move.

The chart has been an absolute screamer for months on end, and 14 out of the 20 analysts to assess its current condition rate the stock a strong buy. We’re going to go ahead and signal interest in tracking the AVTR 08/21 $20-22.50 Calls.

AMC Options Recap & More

AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. AMC – Recap

Despite a rather bearish day for the markets in general, our bullish AMC options idea worked out quite nicely for us yesterday. We had signaled a single contract set with a June expiration, and got instant double-bag results.

Our specific idea was the AMC 06/19 $4 Calls, and they traded in a range from .55-1.15, for total possible gains of up to 109% on the day.

The company announced it won’t be playing Universal Studios films in the future as a result of NBCUniversal’s plans to release movies direct-to-home on-demand. It will be interesting to see how this affects our idea going forward, but as it stands, we’re happy with the single-session performance it recorded yesterday.



Fresh Options Ideas:

All of the following plays have reported earnings this morning, so as usual, we’re going to try to use the corresponding volatility to our advantage in hopes of seeing some nice gain opportunities:

AZN Weekly $52-53 Calls
MA Weekly $272.50-277.50 Calls
BA Weekly $138-140 Calls
