Investment Rationale
Going into today’s session, we have 2 open positions that need managing, CAT and AMD. CAT reported stronger than expected earnings and rallied above the $280 short strike on our vertical, an opportunity to take profits. By closing out the 3 Contracts of our Sept $260/280 Call Vertical @ $16.15 Credit we realized a 138% gain or $2,800 in profits. We also need to close out all contracts of our AMD trade as it reported better than expected earnings. We will update the pricing after the open.
Looking towards this evening’s earnings, PYPL stands out as an opportunity to take bullish exposure. After declining 75% over the past two years, PYPL is now trading at an attractive 14x forward earnings despite expecting 20% and 15% EPS growth for this year and next year. Additionally, the chart has finally started to breakout from a bearish trendline over the past year. With IV Rank currently at 51% we see an opportunity to Sell to Open the Sept $75/70 Put Vertical @ $2.01 Credit (40% of width). With a hypothetical portfolio of $100,000 we recommend risking 2% of it on this trade, which is 7 Contracts for a total risk of $2,093. Set a stop loss on the spread when losses exceed 100% of the premium collected, at about $4.00 Debit.
