Fresh Earnings-Related Options Ideas


Fresh Options Ideas:

As we promised in yesterday morning’s report, we’re back up and running today, and would like to once again apologize for the lapse in coverage. Luckily, there were no really major names reporting earnings on Monday, so we really didn’t miss out on much. Today’s earning calendar is far more interesting, so it would seem the timing is fortuitous.

With no figures from fresh ideas yesterday to report, we’re simply going to jump right into the earnings reporters that are catching our attention this morning. Once again, we thank our many loyal daily readers for their patience and understanding regarding yesterday’s lack of fresh potential plays. Here is what we’re drawn to today:

ANET Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls
UBER Weekly $49.50-51 Calls
MRK Weekly $106-108 Calls
CAT Weekly $262.50-267.50 Calls

Friday’s Runners, OTC Recaps & More

Friday’s Runners: 

On Friday morning, we closed the week out by highlighting our winning options plays from Thursday, which continued a very nice trend of gainers for us over the course of the week. We also issued our typical fresh ideas for the session, and despite a rather poor performance for the markets in general, three out of our four targeted interested recorded significant positive movement on the day.

The targets we honed in on were the BKE 03/18 $36.85-39.35 Calls, the ULTA Weekly $375-385 Calls, and the SPY 03/11 $428-430 Calls. The gains they yielded were not explosive, but definitely respectable and notable in the moves they did produce, which were as follows:

BKE 03/18 $36.85-39.35 Calls

KLAC Review, Fresh Options Plays

KLA Corp. KLAC – Recap: 

We signaled a range a options plays for Friday’s session in our premarket report, and while they all saw positive moves, KLAC was the clear standout, which sustained its gains over a much longer period.

We were tracking the KLAC Weekly $330-340 Calls and following the company’s earnings beat, the stock was propelled from a low of 335.56-348.16 on the day, and that facilitated some elite single-session gain opportunities for us and our readers. This comes just weeks after it was reported that hedge fund interest in the company was on the rise.

Here were the big time daily moves posted by our designated targets in the KLAC options chain on Friday:

KLAC Weekly $330-340 Calls
