Options markets are flashing mixed signals ahead of a cluster of June earnings. Several names are seeing unusual positioning this week.
HOOD — Robinhood Markets — has drawn a wave of bullish call activity ahead of its June print. The stock carries just 4.8% SI % FF. Bears look thin. The call-heavy flow suggests traders expect a beat. Active expiries run through late August.
CRWD has already traded above every analyst target it just received. Short interest sits at only 2.9% of free float. Options positioning skews bullish. Near-term expiries stack up at June 5 and June 18.
XRAY — DENTSPLY SIRONA — tells the opposite story. Bears are building put positions ahead of the June print. SI % FF is elevated at 12.6%. Cost to borrow has crept to 0.58%. Options chains are thin, with only June and July expiries available.
JOBY stands out as a sentiment reversal. Short sellers are retreating. SI % FF is 12.8% but availability has dropped to just 60% — shares are getting harder to borrow. Options flipped bullish. Traders appear to be betting on an easing short squeeze.
HQY options turned bullish as analysts raised targets into the June reporting date. SI % FF is 5.6%.
DG put pressure remains firm after Dollar General's Q1 miss. Bears reloaded positions. Expiries concentrate at June 5.
