Shares of event sales company Live Nation Entertainment (LYV) have been trending higher in the past year. One trader sees the potential for a move higher from here.
That’s based on the April $105 calls. With 164 days until expiration, over 5,498 contracts traded against a prior open interest of 153, for a 36-fold rise in volume. The buyer of the calls paid $8.95 for the trade.
With shares right around $100, they’d only need to rally about 5 percent to hit the strike price of $105 and send the contracts in-the-money.
The stock is already up 103 percent in the past year, thanks to the economic reopening and a rise in event sales. The company has yet to return to profitability, but the most recent revenue jump showed a 677 percent rise.
Action to take: Shares are likely to keep trending higher, so investors may want to play this momentum trade. A few areas are still operating at less than full capacity or haven’t opened yet, so there’s still more upside potential for this play.
The April $105 calls are a solid trade, as they’re near-the-money, have a strong chance of moving in-the-money, and have plenty of time for the trade to play out. Traders can likely nab high-double to low-triple-digit returns.
