Bullish Buyers Back up the Truck for GM Calls After Double Downgrade

by | May 12, 2022 | Options

In Thursday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take another look at unusual options activity in American automotive giant General Motors.

Auto stocks took a hit Thursday after analysts at Wells Fargo downgraded both Ford and GM. 

Two of the world’s biggest manufacturers were dropped to a “Sell” rating from their previous “Buy” status, along with substantial cuts in both stocks’ price targets.

The news shocked shares of GM, which dipped as much as 7% at Tuesday’s open.

Bullish institutional buyers pounced on the blue-chipper’s dip, with one trader scooping up around 7,500 contracts of the June 17 expiration, $38 strike calls for more about $900,000 in premium!

But if that doesn’t get your pistons pumping, I have three more trades waiting below…

    • The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA): Nov 18, $85 PUT. 
    • New Residential Investment Corp. (NYSE: NRZ): June. 17, $10 PUT. 
    • General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM): June. 17, $38 CALL.
    • Lucid Group Inc. (Nasdaq: LCID): June. 17, $17 PUT.

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.
