In Wednesday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at internet retail company Jumia as shares continue their run up on the strength of its Black Friday sales.
If you’ve heard of Jumia Technologies, odds are good you’re from one of the handful of countries where the online marketplace does most of its business… or you’re a degenerate trader.
Once touted as the “Amazon of South Africa,” JMIA shares have rocketed over 30% higher from Monday’s closing price after the company released record Black Friday sales figures for 2021.
Preliminary numbers show Jumia’s gross merchandise volume and total orders up more than 30% year over year.
That news has rattled the cages of the retail trading army and sent them on a buying frenzy, with the “apes” grabbing the Dec. 17 $15 strike call options in bunches as more than 30,600 contracts changed hands.
And that’s not the only trade tearing up the tape Wednesday… I have three more tickers seeing unusual options flow right below…
-
- Jumia Technologies AG (NYSE: JMIA): Dec. 17 $15 CALL.
- Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL): March. 18, 2022, $195 CALL.
- Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA): Dec. 17 $135 CALL.
- Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (NYSEArca: ASHR): Dec. 17 $41 CALL.
