PINS Pre-Earnings Straddle

Cập nhật
Description:
PINS is in its extended down trend that began on 12FEB, back below the 50D & 200D EMA.
Volatility has skyrocketed since the emotional rollercoaster that was PYPL takeover rumors, so what is priced in, and what is next for PINS?
Earnings after close on Friday.
Going for end-of-month options to evade the high premium from earnings week.

  • 66% expect beat

  • 52.47, +17.75%
  • 37.53, -15.78%

I consider this a risky trade, so my capital allocation will be strictly limited.
Will close the position out if there is no considerable move in the underlying by 12NOV.

Break-evens vary on fill


*It is an option to turn this into Calendar Straddle by selling the same week strangle against it, thus reducing break-evens, or even creating a dual calendar spread.
I have opted against these because I trust the small potential of PINS to hit a 20% gap this week, given the earnings scene in the broader market right now.
