Options traders are leaning bullish on NVDA ahead of a cluster of near-term expiries. The chipmaker carries 28 active expiry dates through September. Open interest is concentrated around deep in-the-money calls. That signals institutional positioning rather than speculative punts.
NVDA holds an ORTEX total stock score of 82. Its quality score sits at 90. Momentum has climbed back to nearly 57 after dipping into the high 40s in early May. That recovery in momentum aligns with fresh bullish options flow.
COST faces different pressure. Shares fell Tuesday with no clear fundamental trigger. Options expiries for the warehouse retailer are clustered at June 5 and June 12 — short-dated positioning that points to event-driven hedging ahead of its next earnings. The EV/EBITDA sits at 30.7x, leaving the stock vulnerable to any top-line miss.
On the speculative end, PONY drew attention after raising its 2026 robotaxi fleet target to 3,500 vehicles. Short interest is already 15% of free float. The cost to borrow is just 0.73%. Options market makers will be watching that short base closely as the stock moves on fleet deployment news.
AAPL options have 32 active expiry dates — one of the most granular chains on the market. Agentic AI headlines are fuelling call interest at near-term strikes. MSFT options activity is similarly dense, with OpenAI ad expansion news adding a near-term catalyst layer.
The June 18 monthly expiry is the key date to watch across all these names.
