Cybersecurity firm
SentinelOne (S) is up 10% over the past year, and shares just dropped over 10% last week due to underwhelming guidance. One trader sees shares bouncing higher over the next few months.
That’s based on the March 21, 2025 $31 calls. With 102 days until expiration, 6,265 contracts traded compared to a prior open interest of 172, for a 36-fold rise in volume on the trade. The buyer of the calls paid $1.00 to make the bullish bet.
SentinelOne shares recently traded for about $25, so the stock would need to rally by $6, or about 24%, for the option to move in-the-money. The strike price is right near the stock’s 52-week high of $30.76.
A rebound makes sense, given the company’s recent strong earnings, which are now up 33% over the past year. While not fully profitable yet, SentinelOne is trending that way. Plus, the company has a cash-rich balance sheet and low debt levels.
Action to take: Investors may like shares as an oversold play following earnings here, with an eye towards the stock delivering low double-digit returns over the next few months.
For traders, shares are likely to rebound in the coming weeks from their steep selloff last week. The March 21 $31 calls are priced for a high double-digit return on such a move higher.
