    The stock has shed nearly 30 percent since going public back in September. While unprofitable at the moment, the company has grown revenue by 32 percent over the past year, and the company’s IPO leaves the firm with over $266 million in cash on the balance sheet with no debt.
    Action to take: Eyewear is a steady industry, as demand is unlikely to decline. Shares can likely trend higher from current prices in time, although investors and traders alike should first wait for the stock to cease its current downtrend.

    For traders, the current downtrend is tradeable with a put option. The March $35 puts, last going for about $3.57, can potentially deliver mid-double-digit gains in the next few months on a continued downtrend in shares. Traders should look to take profits on any potential reversal in the stock.
