SGH Options Update & More

SMART Global Holdings Inc. SGH – Options Recap

One of our fresh options trading ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report was in the SGH chain. It was one of very few earnings reporters on the day, and we seized upon the opportunity in signaling the SGH 07/16 $50-55 Calls for observation.

The stock broke out and traded in a daily range from 51.05 to 58.39, which provided our designated plays with plenty of intraday impetus to provide us with the following single-session profit chances:

SGH 07/16 $50-55 Calls
$50: 1.45-9.70 (+569%)
$55: .45-4.00 (+789%)

We’re certainly going to want to continue to track these targets into next week with the stock still trading well below the consensus PPS target of $69.

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’re still trudging our way through one of the most pronounced earnings dry spells in recent memory, with only one reporter catching our eye this morning, the WD-40 Co. We’ll watchlist the WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls.

The end of next week will mark the end of the drought, with hundreds of reporters slated for the week of the 19th.

Extended Watchlist:
CARV, ARPO, UONE, TESS, GMER, VIZC, PRPM, APYP, NEOM, AHFD, BDGR, ICOA, APTY

Reviewing Hot Stock Plays:

Our primary order of business this morning is to switch gears from options trading for just a moment in order to rehash the winning performances of recent stock calls we’ve made.

We’ve been trying to stay as occupied as possible while breaking from our typical focus on options plays due to the dearth of earnings reporters. We generally prefer to trade options directly following their quarterly figures release due to the heightened volatility it provides.

We have been making do with the opportunities that do present themselves, and we found three such opportunities in MRIN, MWWC, and PBYA. The following tables will present the date and link to our initial alert, the subsequent trading ranges, and total potential profits that were available as a result:

Extended-Term Options Plays Paying Off

Reviewing Winning Ideas:

We typically focus more on options expiring at the end of a given week, there are certainly occasions when we target those with expiration dates weeks, or sometimes even months into the future. Which way it falls is often determined by the setup and conditions in which we find a play.

Today, we’re going to go over the recent moves made by a few of the longer-term options ideas to grace our watchlist recently. We signaled the DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls in our report last Thursday morning, June 24th, and just a few sessions prior on the morning of the 21st we alerted the TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls and the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls.

Take a look at the fantastic multi-bag upswings that we’ve witnessed in the short time we’ve been tracking these options:

DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls
$140: 2.71-8.65 (+219%)
145: 1.10-4.60 (+318%)

TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls

SPCE Weekly $51-53 Calls

Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Recap:

Like a couple of the above-mentioned plays, we signaled MRIN in our report on the morning of June 24th on the basis of the stock alone. We didn’t even need options to leverage with this play as it has continued to soar to new highs.

Yesterday MRIN hit 21.68, which from our observed low of 2.56 registers as an increase 747% of in just a week’s time for this NASDAQ-listed stock!
