In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at travel name American Airlines as shares continue to surge on the strength of solid holiday traffic.
Travel stocks are ripping higher this week as TSA data shows the highest traffic levels since the start of the pandemic. Turnstile numbers for December show American travel demand is at 83% of 2019 levels, edging out the 81% mark set by travellers in November.
That increasing demand, along with bullish outlooks from other names in the sector, have pushed shares of American Airlines up more than 6.5% during the rally! Options traders took aim on the Feb. 18, 2022, $19 strike calls, picking up over 6,600 contracts for about $132,000 in premium!
Of course, that’s not the only high flyer hitting the tape Tuesday. I have two more options plays traders need to see before they take off for the holiday…
-
- American Airlines Group Inc. (Nasdaq: AAL): Feb. 18, 2022, $19 CALL.
- Callaway Golf Co. (NYSE: ELY): Jan. 21, 2022, $26 CALL.
- Olaplex Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: OLPX): Feb. 18, 2022, $26 CALL.
