In Wednesday’s Blitz Daily, we’ll take a look at cosmetics company Coty after the firm announced a new secondary stock offering.
Shares of beauty supply behemoth Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) fell more than 12.5% in trading Wednesday on news the company issued a secondary offering of 50 million shares. This isn’t an offering of new shares, but rather an opportunity for private equity firm KKR to unwind its massive position. Moreover, KKR decided to do it at $8.53 per share — around 10% lower than Tuesday’s closing price.
This slide resulted in the stock giving back all of the gains generated from its stellar earnings report on Aug. 26. But rather than run away screaming, bullish traders smelled opportunity.
Institutional buyers swept up call options hand over fist. Specifically, the big boys picked up more than 9,000 contracts in the Nov. 19 expiration $9 strike calls for a combined premium of over $650,000!
And I have three more “foundational” trades that hit the tape today! Just see for yourself…
-
Range Resources Corp. (NYSE: RRC): Jan 21, 2022 $17 CALL.
-
Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC): Mar. 18, 2022 $60 CALL.
