Unusual Options Activity: Nvidia (NVDA)

Shares of graphics processing company Nvidia (NVDA) have been hit hard with the recent tech market selloff. One trader sees share reversing higher in the next month.

  • Special: Every Time the Government Releases Jobs Data... Make This Trade the Night Before!
  • That’s based on the February $235 calls. With 23 days left until expiration, 9,309 contracts were traded compared to an open interest of 304, for a 31-fold gain in shares. The buyer of the options paid $15.23 to make the trade.

    Shares of the company recently went for just about $235, making this an at-the-money option. On a rally higher in shares, the option should move dollar-for-dollar higher with shares, less any change in time premium and implied volatility.

    Nvidia has been a long-term winner in the market, but has been prone to large and sharp pullbacks in the share price. With a recent selloff potentially ending, shares could rocket higher and the option with them in the coming days.

    Action to take: Shares are an attractive play on a number of tech trends, so investors may want to consider adding shares on any dip including the most recent one. The stock pays a paltry dividend yield of less than 0.1 percent, however.

  • Special: $1,300 into $45,000 in just 4 MONTHS?!
  • For traders, the call options look attractive based on the market’s short-term setup. A potential rebound in the coming weeks could lead to mid-to-high double-digit returns on the call option, although traders will likely want to take profits quickly just in case the stock market doesn’t recover too quickly from its latest selloff.
