Retail Earnings Opportunities

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL – Recap: 

This morning we’re updating readers on the fresh options idea from yesterday. Just to give a heads up, this idea appeared in our report yesterday as Weekly calls, which was in error. The next expiration date on any existing CBRL options is June 18th, so we’re talking about the CBRL 06/18 $155-165 Calls.

Those fared quite well on the day despite three weeks remaining until their expiry. Here are the intraday gains they recorded:

CBRL 06/18 $155-165 Calls 
$155: 4.40-6.68 (+52%)
$160: 2.45-4.40 (+80%)
$165: 1.25-2.40 (+92%)

Based on premarket activity this morning, it appears as if CBRL may be preparing to gap up, and as a result we may see further advances in these contract sets. We’re going to want to continue to monitor their activity into June 18th.


Fresh Options Ideas:

Despite a general decrease in the number of daily earnings reporters, we’ve got a fair few retail giants dropping figures this morning, and we’ll venture a target for the SPY as well.

URBN Weekly $37-39 Calls
ANF Weekly $39-40.50 Calls
DKS Weekly $88-91 Calls 

SPY 05/26 $418-420 Calls

Interesting PTON Setup & More

Winning Options Review: 

As is typical for a Monday morning around here, we’ll kick off this fresh trading week by going over our winning ideas for Friday’s session from the day’s premarket report, before moving into what’s interesting to us today.

The top movers for the day began with our targets in the Deere & Co. chain, the DE Weekly $357.50-362.50 Calls which were pushed by a strong Q2 showing for the company. That was followed closely by our SPY targets, the SPY 05/21 $415-417 Calls which yielded their large intraday moves in an afternoon rebound.

Here are the very respectable gain opportunities that arose as we tracked these plays:

DE Weekly $357.50-362.50 Calls 
$357.50: 4.50-12.75 (+183%)
$360: 2.74-11.00 (+301%)
$362.50: 3.20-9.35 (+192%)

SPY 05/21 $415-417 Calls

$415: .61-1.37 (+125%)
$416: .21-.61 (+190%)
$417: .05-.16 (+220%)


Peloton Interactive, Inc. PTON – Options Ideas: 

We are fairly dry on the earnings front today, but we did notice a solid technical setup on PTON, along with some insider buying last week. We’ll look to formulate a shorter and longer-term set of corresponding targets.

Things are going to be slim with regard to the daily number of earnings reporters to choose from for quick-strike trading ideas for the next 8 weeks, but we’ll strive to find other opportunities like these.

PTON Weekly $101-103 Calls
PTON 06/11 $105-107 Calls

Bonus Idea:
SPCE Weekly $24-25.50 Calls

Options Review: 

We played the SPY from both sides of the fence last week as the markets chopped up and down over the course of some rather volatile sessions. On Friday morning, we flipped from bears to bulls and cast our lot in with the SPY 05/14 $411-412.50 Calls. 

Additionally, a couple of our other targets, the DASH Weekly $122-125 Calls and the PBR Weekly $9-9.50 Calls, produced some impressive intraday rallies that gave traders the chance at the following gains:

SPY 05/14 $411-412.50 Calls
$411: 2.56-6.48 (+153%)
$412: 1.91-5.58 (+192%)
$412.50: 1.59-5.00 (+214%)
