Blitz Daily: The Workhorse Short Report Is Bad News for Small EV Stocks

by | Sep 1, 2021 | Uncategorized

In Wednesday’s Blitz Daily, we’ll take a look at electric vehicle company Workhorse after news broke regarding an open SEC investigation.

It’s been a long day for anyone still holding onto shares of Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq: WKHS). A new short report hit the headlines Wednesday, detailing how the board of directors failed to disclose an “Active and Ongoing Investigation by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement” for potential fraud.

The stock sank more than 9% following the release as bears descended on WKHS and other fringe EV firms. Specifically, traders took aim at the weekly put options, with more than 14,000 contracts traded in the Sept. 3 expiration $9.50 strike puts.

And that wasn’t the only name hitting the tape Wednesday… put your eyes on these two trades and see for yourself…

Today’s Top Orders:

  • Petco Health and Wellness Co. Inc. (Nasdaq: WOOF): Sept. 10 $22.50 CALL.

  • Albertsons Companies Inc. (NYSE: ACI): Sept. 17 $31 CALL.

  • Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq: WKHS): Sept. 3 $10 PUT.

Check out my short video and I’ll break down today’s most unusual options order flow in no time flat…

A friend of mine sent me this chart about three months ago. I should probably print it and keep it in my wallet next to a photo of my daughter. Given the sheer number of questions I’ve fielded lately, I’ll probably end up showing this chart more than her picture.
