In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at online retailer Amazon following its 20-for-1 stock split.
The split, approved on May 25, brought its price from $2,440 a share at the end of last week down to just $125 by Monday morning’s opening bell.
Existing shareholders received 19 additional shares for every one they owned prior to the split.
Joy of the Trade’s Jeff Zananiri covered whether he thinks Amazon is a buy following the split, so be sure and check that out!
The split makes shares more affordable for retail investors, placing it in range of companies such as Disney and Netflix, which are currently trading around $108 and $198 a share, respectively, at the time of this writing.
And retail investors aren’t the only ones using this as an opportunity to jump in because the lower share price also makes the options much, much cheaper…
The bulls are placing large bets on the share price heading higher in a hurry, with one dropping $264,000 in premium on over 800 contracts of the June 17 expiration, $130 strike calls.
But Amazon isn’t the only name hitting the tape today…
-
- Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN): June 17, $130 CALL.
- Quantumscape Corp. (NYSE: QS): June 10, $13 CALL.
- Robinhood Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: HOOD): June 17, $10 CALL.
- Kellogg Co. (NYSE: K): June 17, $72.50 CALL
