Options markets are flashing interesting signals this Tuesday. Several names in focus carry elevated short interest or fresh catalysts — a combination that often drives unusual activity.
ZoomInfo Technologies (ticker: GTM) sits at 16.6% short interest of free float. That is a high bar. The stock just confirmed general availability of its GTM.AI platform. Near-term expiries run weekly through late June. Elevated short interest plus a bullish catalyst is a classic setup for call buying to spike.
Xometry priced a $225M equity offering at $85 per share today. That dilution typically pressures near-term calls while attracting put buyers. Its availability sits at 215% of short interest — plenty of borrow available for new shorts. Watch the June 18 expiry closely.
Helen of Troy is a standout on cost-to-borrow. ORTEX data shows it doubled in a week to 0.73%. Short interest stands at 11.3% of free float. Tight borrowing conditions often precede a short squeeze — options traders may be positioning for a snap higher.
Blackstone closed a $13.1B Asia private equity fund, beating its $10B target. With 8 active expiry dates through August, options flow across the curve deserves attention. The event hints at fresh institutional interest.
GlobalFoundries gained attention after a new AI data centre partnership with Sivers. Its options chain has two near-term expiries. Short interest at 8.2% of float leaves room for a squeeze if momentum builds.
