MGM Mirage (MGM), Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), iShares Emerging Markets (EEM), Salix (SLXP) Major Options Movers Thursday
Thursday options report on MGM Mirage (MGM), Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), iShares Emerging Markets (EEM) and Salix (SLXP).
Bullish Flow
MGM (MGM) adds 13 cents to $13.62 and 27,000 calls traded on the casino-operator today, which is not unusual volume, but compares to put volume of 8,550 contracts. March 13 calls are the most actives. 4,900 traded and 82 percent of the volume at the Ask. Looks like some of the volume in March 14, March 15 and April 15s is being driven by upside call buyers. Implied volatility is up 2 percent to 47.5. Moody's says today that it is seeing signs of modest recovery in the Las Vegas strip area.
Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), which saw action Tuesday on news UPS has contracted the company, is up another $1.15 to $14.92 on news Knapheide, a maker of steel truck bodies, has selected the company for CMG fuel systems for Ford light duty trucks. CLNE call options are busy again today, led by a block of 2827 Jun 16 calls at $1.10 when the market was 95 cents to $1.25. Looks opening. More than 4000 traded. Mar and Sep 15 and 16 calls are seeing interest as well.
Bearish Flow
iShares Emerging Markets Fund (EEM) is flat at $44.87 and 23,000 EEM Jun 43 puts were recently sold at $1.84 each. Another 35,000 were sold earlier at $1.90 per contract. One or more investors might be unwinding hedges. Volume in the June 43 put, which is 4.2 percent out-of-the-money, is now 71,425 vs. 106,365. Implied volatility in the EEM was up 24 percent over the past two days and is down 2 percent to 25.5 midday Thursday.
Implied Volatility Mover
Salix Pharmaceuticals (SLXP) is down 22.3 percent to $32.21 and options volume is running 8.5X the average daily after the FDA decided the company’s Xifaxan (label expansion) is not ready for approval. March 37 puts are the most actives, as some players might be liquidating positions opened prior to the news. Mar 35 calls, Mar 35 puts, Mar 30 puts, April 40 calls and July 37 calls are seeing interest as well. Implied volatility is down 42 percent to 50.5.
