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

Clean Sweep on Options Plays & More

Solid Options Gainers: 

Our premarket report yesterday morning, like most days, included a bank of fresh earnings-related options ideas for our readers’ consideration. Yesterday’s new plays were the PFE Weekly $39.50-40 Calls, the CVS Weekly $78-79 Calls, and the COP Weekly $52.50-53.50 Calls. As our regular followers are perfectly aware, we get the most out of post-earnings report targets because of the increased volatility that typically follows earnings figures. 

Unsurprisingly, we hit on each and every target we we established, and those ideas posted the following moves and total possible intraday profits for traders:

PFE Weekly $39.50-40 Calls
$39.50 : .32-.75 (+134%)
$40 : .12-.44 (+267%)
