Options Activity Explodes as Exxon Gushes Over $100

by | Jun 7, 2022 | Options

In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at top energy name Exxon Mobil after its analyst upgrade.

With energy prices continuing to rip higher, everything seems to be bouncing Exxon’s way — especially its stock price.

Tuesday saw shares up more than 4%, breaking the $100 mark for the first time since 2014  after analysts at Evercore upgraded its price target on the blue-chip stock from $88 to $120!

This tells us there could still be an upside from where the stock is trading right now to be had… 

The bulls piled into the options chain as the stock hit multi-year highs with one institutional buyer sweeping up more than 580 contracts of the June 10 expiration, $100 strike calls for around $118,000 in premium!

Of course that’s just one of the names hitting Tuesday tape…

  • ChargePoint Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CHPT): July 15, $15 CALL. 
  • Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM): June 10, $100 CALL.
  • Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP): July 15, $18 CALL.
  • Meta Platforms Inc. (Nasdaq: FB): June 10, $200 CALL.

A friend of mine sent me this chart about three months ago. I should probably print it and keep it in my wallet next to a photo of my daughter. Given the sheer number of questions I’ve fielded lately, I’ll probably end up showing this chart more than her picture.
