Blitz Daily: Wall Street Backs the Truck in to Load up on Ford — Calls and Puts

by | Nov 4, 2021 | Crypto

In Thursday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at Detroit automaker Ford after announcing a new program to pay off $5 billion in debt.

It’s been a fantastic year for Ford shareholders. The stock is up more than 150% so far in 2021 with the help of big headlines like the launch of the F-150 Lightning and big earnings beats.

FoMoCo brushed off concerns of semiconductor shortage headwinds as it came a few pennies shy of doubling Wall Street’s earnings estimates this past week. And with cashflow turning up, Ford is putting that money to work.

The company unveiled plans to retire $5 billion of the bonds it had borrowed to keep operations going through the pandemic.

The bullish news helped shares climb about 4% Thursday, hitting prices the stock hasn’t seen in 20 years!

The 15% run up this week has sparked a frenzy across the options chain, with multiple massive bets from bulls and bears….

Thursday saw the bulls hit the Nov. 19 $18.50 strike call options for about 23,000 contracts a a total of $350,000 in premium. Meanwhile, bears dropped $158,00 into the Nov. 12 $19.50 puts!

And they weren’t the only automotive name hitting the tape Thursday. Hop in and check out these other trades seeing unusual options activity… 

  • Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F): Nov. 19 $18.5 CALL.
  • Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F): Nov. 12 $19.5 PUT.
  • General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM): Nov. 12 $58 CALL.
