In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at publishing icon The New York Times as its parent company gets set for earnings.
Markets are seeing more choppy action Tuesday as the indexes move sideways…
And we’re seeing a lot of big hedging action, mostly in tech options. But one name stuck out like a sore thumb among Tuesday’s bearish action… The “failing” New York Times.
The Gray Lady’s parent company is gearing up to report earnings ahead of Wednesday’s open, and although consensus estimates expect revenue to be in line — something is brewing in the options market.
Bearish activity was picked up and market makers are expecting a $5 move higher or lower as shares hover above the $31 mark — about a 16% move.
My scanners spotted institutional buyers early Tuesday sweep up about 600 contracts of the Aug. 19 expiration, $32 strike puts for around $105,000 in premium!
This isn’t a name that normally trades a lot of options. And that order alone is 50% higher than the 30-day average options volume!
Of course, that’s not the only name hitting the tape Tuesday…
- Nvidia Corp. (Nasdaq: NVDA): Aug. 5, $195 CALL.
- Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN): Aug. 5, $163 PUT.
- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: AMD): Aug. 5, $108 CALL.
- The New York Times Co. (NYSE: NYT): Aug. 19, $32 PUT.
- Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq GOOGL): Sept. 16, $110.50 PUT.
