Bulls Get Defensive in This Name Ahead of Earnings

by | Apr 9, 2024

With markets doing a whole lot of nothing to start the week, we ran across a familiar old friend on the News Flow Scanner… 

We’ve had a lot of luck trading this stock when it graces the scanner. It doesn’t hit all that often but when it does, it grabs my attention… and that stock is Raytheon (RTX). 

Raytheon is of course a major U.S. defense contractor that makes all those weapons of war. So whenever the war machine starts cranking up, you can get traders turn an eye toward this stock. 

We’re not here to talk geopolitics and things of that nature — we’re here to trade…

And with everything going on in the Middle East and Ukraine, well, we’ve seen some interesting trading action in this old stalwart. 

We also saw another order hit in Citi (C ) ahead of its pre-open earnings report coming Friday, so check that out below — just remember to respect that weekly expiration risk because it can and will go to $0 if wrong!

Be sure and join me at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, April 11, to see how I’m trading Bank Blowout 2024!

Tuesday’s Top Order Flow: 

  • RTX Aug24 Strike: 110 Calls premium: $338,740 ABOVE ASK BULLISH

Bank earnings for the first quarter of 2024 kicks off on April 12…

With notable financial stocks like JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Citi set to announce before the open Friday, followed by Bank of America and a few others that I’m personally interested in.
