Big bank earnings are the week's defining event. Bank of America reports Q3 results with its RSI sitting at a notably oversold 31.8. Analysts see 23% upside. Options flow heading into the print is being watched closely, as BAC is down 1.2% year to date.
Delta Air Lines reports this week too. Its short interest days-to-cover stands at 3.96, the highest among major airlines. Options traders are priced for a move, with Delta up 18% year to date but RSI pulling back to 48.
PepsiCo sits at an RSI of 36.9, firmly in oversold territory. The stock is down 12% this year. Analysts recently lifted their view on the name. That combination tends to attract call buyers looking for a rebound.
The bearish side has a clear target: Wolfspeed. Its short score is 77.6 out of 100. Days-to-cover runs at 11.3. Short sellers have dug in, according to ORTEX data, and the stock's 76% YTD gain has not dislodged them.
Estee Lauder was cut by analysts this week. Its YTD loss is 6.4%. Put activity around the next earnings call has picked up as a result of that downgrade.
NRG Energy shows the highest options score among large-caps screened this week. The stock is down 32% year to date. Analyst return potential sits at 72%, the widest gap in the screen, suggesting options traders may be positioning for a sharp recovery.
ORTEX's Index Rebalance Radar flags ACV Auctions for a likely Russell 3000 deletion around 19 October following Copart's tender offer, which carries 93% completion odds.
