In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we’ll take a look at grocery industry giant Kroger after shares surged on fears of the rising number of coronavirus cases.
As the world battles a wave of new delta variant COVID-19 infections, traders far and wide are dusting off 2020’s lockdown playbook and piling back into grocery stores.
One of the biggest winners in the flight to safety so far is The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR). Typically a low-beta name, shares spiked more than 4% from Monday’s close as retail and institutional traders alike snapped up stock and options contracts. Most notably, big spenders hit the Aug. 20 $43.50 strike calls, picking up more than 2,100 contracts on the day.
But that wasn’t the only massive buying hitting The Blitz Tracker on Tuesday. I have four more names you need to know about, including another flight to safety stock you won’t see in many headlines…
-
Callaway Golf Co. (NYSE: ELY): Aug. 20 $236 CALL.
-
The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR): Aug. 20 $43.50 CALL.
-
SpartanNash Co. (Nasdaq: SPTN): Aug. 20 $20 CALL
-
Harley Davidson Inc. (NYSE: HOG): Aug. 6 $40 CALL.
-
Nikola Corp. (Nasdaq: NKLA): Aug. 20 $10 PUT.
