In Wednesday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at digital entertainment company Activision Blizzard after its share price hit new 52-week lows.
Video game veteran Activision Blizzard is facing another round of serious legal issues as more employees come forward with charges of work-related sexual misconduct — including an allegation of two rapes by one supervisor in 2016 and ’17.
On top of its workplace problems, the latest instalment of its flagship Call of Duty game franchise, Vanguard, has failed to impress with sales. According to a number of gaming news websites, sales of the new title are down 40% year-over-year in the United Kingdom.
Activision shares have been in a freefall since the first round of legal problems, dropping over 28% since late July. Once again, the bulls are back to buy the blood on ATVI as big buyers scooped up more than 2,800 contracts of the Jan. 21, 2022, $67.50 call options for over $279,000 in premium!
And if video game companies don’t hit the right buttons for you, I have four more trades seeing a lot of love on Wednesday…
- American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO): Nov. 19 $26 CALL.
- Hut 8 Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: HUT): April 14, 2022, $30 CALL.
- Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq: BITF): May 20, 2022, $15 CALL.
- Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL): Nov. 26 $155 CALL.
- Activision Blizzard Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI): Jan. 21, 2022, $67.50 CALL.
