In Wednesday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at unusual options interest in Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers…
China has seen energy demand soar, resulting in rolling blackouts as the country tries to balance supply and demand while still meeting energy and emissions targets.
As it strives to meet those targets and become “greener,” EV manufacturing is surging… And related companies are seeing a ton of unusual options flow Thursday.
Traders came in and dropped $370,000 worth of premium on over 2,000 contracts in the Nio Inc. Oct. 29 $36 strike calls.
Nio fell to almost $33 per share earlier this month, but it seems traders aren’t worried about it returning to those levels.
While the company hasn’t been in the news lately, several of its competitors have…
BYD Auto is involved in fleet-as-a-service solutions joint venture in the U.S., where it will deploy up to 5,000 new EVs to fleet managers.
And Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) not only produced a record number of EVs at its Shanghai manufacturing plant in September, but it also had a record number of sales that month.
As the saying goes, “a rising tide lifts all boats.” And the EV frenzy is sending interest and buying soaring in several Chinese EV companies.
I have two more EV stocks — among other names — seeing their institutional activity go into overdrive Thursday…
- Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO): Oct. 29 $36 CALL.
- Li Auto Inc. (Nasdaq: LI): Nov. 19 $31 CALL.
- XPeng Inc. (NYSE: XPEV): Oct. 29 $42 CALL.
- Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: MARA): Oct. 22 $44 CALL.
- Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX): Oct. 22 $36 CALL.
