Earnings Plays on the Move

Fidelity Intl. Information Services, Inc. FIS – Options Recap:

Our lone fresh options idea for the day in yesterday’s premarket report was in the FIS chain. The stock saw a mixed bag for the session as the company posted beats on earnings and revs in its Q2 report, while tempering guidance pulled in the other direction.

We still had some very nice intraday movement in our designated target, the FIS 09/17 $135 Calls. Those ran from 1.80 to 2.96, producing a respectable intraday upswing of 49% We feel rather certain that we will be returning to report more gains on this longer-term play, with over five weeks remaining until expiration. Stay locked in for future updates.


Catapult Solutions, Inc. CPSL:

We also wanted to provide a quick recap on CPSL, which has appeared in our watchlists a few times over the past week. We initially alerted it exactly a week ago today on the morning of July 28th.

We have now observed a very impressive move out of CPSL from a low of .0261 to yesterday’s high of .0648, which works out to a 148% run. Volume over the same period has been vastly greater than average.

Another Fruitful Options Trading Week on the Books

Options Round-Up:

We try extremely hard on a regular basis to search for, and point out, options trading ideas that we think may have a chance to be successful plays for our readers. It has become the primary focus of our typical daily activities, and for good reason. We excel at it more often than not, and despite going through a period with a relatively meager earnings calendar, we have still managed to keep things going on that front.

Yesterday we formulated a four-pack of fresh options targets and three of those turned in some very nice gain chances for the day. Our winning picks were the CCIV Weekly $25-26 Calls, the DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls, and the EXPI 07/16 $40 Calls.

Here were the intraday moves and total possible profit chances they attained:

CCIV Weekly $25-26 Calls
$25: .57-1.36 (+139%)
$26: .22-.66 (+200%)
_____

DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls
$140: 2.71-4.30 (+59%)
145: 1.25-2.18 (+74%)
_____

EXPI 07/16 $40 Calls
$40: 1.85-2.65 (+43%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We actually do have a few good earnings reporters this morning, with NKE and KMX drawing most of our attention. We’ll also venture a few targets for the SPCE chain following the FAA’s approval of its planned commercial sub-orbital flight business.

NKE Weekly $149-152.50 Calls

TBIO Options Update & More

Translate Bio, Inc. TBIO – Update: 

We were just mentioning our successful MRNA calls from Monday morning in yesterday’s report. In that same report to kick off this week, we also formulated an extended-term options idea on TBIO. After some solid sessions have gone on the books this week, we’re swinging back around to check into our total possible gains.

We targeted the TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls, and on the strength of the stock running from 18.02-22.49 (+25%) over the span of the past three sessions, we have seen some pretty solid runs.

Here are the trading ranges and total possible gains that were made available by these TBIO Calls:  

TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls
$65: 2.88-5.20 (+81%)
$70: 1.65-4.00 (+142%)

Meanwhile, with plenty of time remaining until expiration and plenty of upside potential on the TBIO chart, we’ll continue to track these targets in the days and weeks ahead.
