Shares of food conglomerate
Kraft Heinz Corp (KHC) have been gradually trending higher over the past few months. One trader is betting on a further rally in the coming weeks.

  • Special: 32,481% Growth: The SmartPhone Startup Outpacing Apple and Samsung
  • That’s based on the December 3 $36 calls. Expiring at the end of next week, over 20,817 contracts recently traded, a 135-fold jump from the prior open interest of 154 contracts. The buyer of the calls paid $0.28 to make the trade.

    Shares last went for about $35 per share, so the stock would need to rise only about 3 percent for the trade to move in-the-money. That’s possible, but unlikely, given the small amount of time left on the trade.

      "We're going to bring back the American Dream... bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before." - President Donald Trump

      During Trump's first term, 8 million Americans became millionaires despite constant resistance from Democrats and even some Republicans in his cabinet.

      Now, with Republicans controlling both houses and the Fed cutting rates, everything is aligned for even greater growth.

    The stock is up a scant 8 percent in the past year, far underperforming the S&P 500. Revenue has been slightly down, and the company’s profit margin is under 10 percent, likely why shares have pulled back from a high of around $45 per share.
    Action to take: Shares should continue trending higher over time, likely at a faster pace than in the past year, although investors shouldn’t expect tech-like returns. Investors can get a starting dividend yield of 4.5 percent to start investing.

    Traders could get a quick double trading the December call options, although any bounce higher in shares should lead to a quick sale.
