ADI Bearish Opening Trade Signal

Investment Rationale

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) recently broke down from its trading range with strong momentum and is underperforming the S&P 500. Our downside target is the $200 support level on the chart.

From a fundamental perspective, ADI appears overvalued compared to its peers. The company is scheduled to announce earnings before the market opens on Tuesday, November 26th, and the stock has experienced a recent uptick.

With the stock at $209.65, we executed a bearish put diagonal spread: so we will make 1.13 – .08 = 1.05 on the 202.5 put to start. 

  • Buy 1 Nov 29th Put 207.50 (10 DTE) @ $4.50
  • Sell 1 Nov 22nd Put 202.50 (3 DTE) @ $1.13 

Net debit for the spread: $3.37 as of Thursday’s close, the stock was at $213.96, leaving the Nov 22nd 202.50 strike put out-of-the-money (OTM). We plan to close this option contract for a few cents and roll into a Nov 29th put with the same strike. This adjustment will capture a significant implied volatility (IV) premium due to the upcoming earnings report and position us in a long put vertical spread that we can hold through the announcement.

As we are Rolling ADI, we are therefore closing the original trade and open a new position to generate a Net Credit of $1.85.
