Earnings Plays Buck the Poor Market Trend

Options Buck the Trend:

It was another dreary day for the markets yesterday, as most stocks took a beating for the entire session. Thankfully it wasn’t too brutal for us, as two of our three daily options ideas posting significant upswings on the day. A bearish play we’ve been tracking since Monday morning’s premarket report also tacked on a solid new high as well.

Our daily targets to blast off in defiance of the overall trends on the heels of their earnings drops were the TJX Weekly $56-58 Calls, and the ZIM Weekly $66-68 Calls. Monday’s idea was the WIX Weekly $70 Puts. Here were the overall moves and total possible profits associated with those targets: 

TJX Weekly $56-58 Calls
$56: 3.70-7.00 (+89%)
$57: 2.75-5.85 (+113%)
$57.50: 2.41-5.52 (+129%)
$58: 1.84-5.03 (+173%)

Target Corp. TGT

For a fresh set of options ideas yesterday morning, we had signaled the TGT Weekly $87.50-89 Calls for observation after the company recorded its best quarterly figures in a decade.

Despite posting a red candle on the day, the early activity in the stock was sufficient to provide our selected options contracts with the juice to make some respectable intraday rips.

$87.50 Calls – Range: .70-1.50 – Max Gain: 114%
$88 Calls – Range: .55-1.22 – Max Gain: 122%
$88.50 Calls – Range: .43-.95 – Max Gain: 121%
$89 Calls – Range: .14-.40 – Max Gain: 186%

FRESH IDEAS:

We’ll continue to stick with big name earnings plays as long as they’re on the table. Earnings related options trading has become our bread and butter, and for good reason. As TGT proved yesterday, we don’t even need for these stocks to close in the green to give us what we’re looking for- all we need is the right early morning activity.

Today we’ve got a pair of fresh ideas that also just reported earnings. We’re going to be monitoring the Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA Weekly $180-185 Calls, and the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. WSM 09/21 $67.50 & $70 Calls.
