Will These Earnings Calls ‘Work Out’?

by | Sep 10, 2024

With GameStop on deck for earnings today, order flow in the video game retailer has all but dried up following what appeared to be Roaring Kitty’s move last week, which I covered here…

If any orders come in later today, we’ll be sure to update the flow below. 

Since earnings flow has slowed dramatically, let’s take a look at a stock we don’t recall ever seeing hit the ol’ News Flow Scanner…

Planet Fitness (PLNT). Now, keep in mind that this is a pricier play than we generally like to look at. But it is an interesting order, and it’s odd, which means it catches our attention. 

It’s odd because we don’t recall ever seeing it. And if it has hit the scanner before, it’s certainly a rarity. And it’s interesting because of the size of the premium…

About $319K worth — and it captures the company’s earnings report on Nov. 11. 

So it has a few things going for it as to why it may be worth a look…

This unusual order hit the scanner soon after the open this morning when PLNT was basically flat on the day. It’s in the November monthly expiration, $80 strike puts, with shares trading just above $80 today. 

Puts are often downside hedges, but we do like them more when they’re directly in the money like this. If nothing else, it could be worth putting on a watchlist for now since it has over two months before expiration. 

We also saw another Call buy in AT&T (T), which makes the fourth in the past three trading days, with T marching about 1.5% higher on the day by 1 p.m. ET. 

Finally, we saw a sizable bullish bet in BNY Melon (BK), with this trader looking for a potential rebound after shares fell 2%. 

As always, respect the risk and size accordingly!

P.S. Will This $26 Stock Crush It? 

When one of my scanners flashes a BUY signal on a stock, I know it’s time to pay attention…

But when all FOUR flag a stock as a BUY, I know there’s a worthwhile opportunity… 

This time, that opportunity seems to be on a cheap $26 stock — one that I’m now calling my No. 1 election stock.

While I cannot promise future returns or against losses, I’d like to show you the stock along with the system behind it.

See YOU Wednesday!
