Options Flow Splits on Earnings Eve

Earnings season is driving a sharp divergence in options sentiment. Bullish and bearish bets are piling into the same names — but for very different reasons.

Micron Technology sits at the top of both the positive and negative options flow tables. The memory chip giant leads all large-caps in call buying. It also draws heavy put volume. That two-sided pressure signals genuine uncertainty. Micron is up 191% year-to-date. Bulls are protecting gains. Bears are betting the rally fades.

Sandisk Corporation is the standout. Up 443% in 2026, it tops the bearish-bet table for the week. Its RSI of 43 suggests the momentum has already cooled. Put buyers are taking notice.

Advanced Micro Devices carries unusually heavy two-sided flow. Up 126% year-to-date and pending Q2 results, options traders are split on whether it can hold. Intel shows the same pattern — up 147% this year, with both call and put activity elevated.

Outside chips, Uber Technologies stands out. The stock is down 12% year-to-date. Analysts see 45% upside. Options traders are positioning ahead of its Q2 earnings call. Call activity is building.

Zoetis draws attention for a different reason. Down 39% in 2026, it now carries a 44% analyst upside target. Options activity is modest. But a turnaround bet here could be quietly brewing.

The week ahead brings earnings from Disney, Uber, and AMD. Expect volatility to spike across these names as results land.
