Options Updates & More

Adobe, Inc. ADBE – Options Update

Yesterday morning we signaled a couple of options plays in ADBE and FDX, with both companies reporting their quarterly earnings in the post-market. While we didn’t get much action from FDX in the run-up to earnings, ADBE began to perform. Noth sets of targets should be of interest today.

We expect to see some positive activity right from the outset today, as those untraded upon beats will surely factor in. Stay tuned tomorrow for an update on those upcoming performances. For now, here are the initial moves that ADBE started off with in yesterday’s session.

ADBE Weekly $490-495 Calls 

$490: 18.00-22.75 (+26%)
$492.50: 17.77-21.55 (+21%)
$495: 16.44-20.30 (+23%)
