Greetings from sunny Las Vegas! I’m currently traveling, so while I won’t have a video for you today, there’s still plenty of unusual options flow in the market for us to dissect…
In Wednesday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at Silicon Valley powerhouse Qualcomm as the company reported earnings after the close.
Qualcomm manufactures chips for cell phones, cars and countless other internet-connected devices. And despite supply chain shortages, it forecast better-than-expected profits and revenue to come.
And it seems traders are betting on the company to deliver…
Qualcomm is currently trading around $138.50 per share, and earlier on Wednesday we saw traders scoop up over $100,000 worth of contracts on both the Nov. 5 $140 strike call, and the Nov. 12 $143 strike call.
As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats… And Qualcomm isn’t the only chip manufacturer seeing a lot of institutional order flow today! We’ve got two other tech stocks, and a few other companies on our radar…
- Qualcomm Inc. (Nasdaq: QCOM): Nov. 5 $140 CALL; Nov. 12 $143 CALL.
- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: AMD): Nov. 5 $129 CALL.
- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR): Dec. 17 $47 CALL.
- Macy’s Inc. (NYSE: M): Dec. 17 $42 CALL.
- Micron Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MU): Nov. 5 $73 PUT.
- Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK): Dec. 17 $87.50 PUT.
