Option Volatility And Earnings Report For Aug 11
There is a big lull in earnings reports this week before some bigger names start to report again the week after. This week, we just have Cisco Systems (CSCO), Applied Materials (AMAT), Sea Ltd (SE), Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR), Nu Holdings (NU), Coreweave (CRWV) and (JD) reporting. More News from Barchart Microsoft's Impressive Free Cash Flow - MSFT Stock Could Be Worth 28% More Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Before a company reports earnings, implied volatility is usually high because the market is unsure about the outcome of the report. Speculators and hedgers create huge demand for the company's options which increases the implied volatility, and therefore, the price of options. After the earnings announcement, implied volatility usually drops back down to normal levels. Let's take a look at the expected range for these stocks. To calculate the expected range, look up the option chain and add together the price of the at-the-money put option and the at-the-money call option. Use the first expiry date after the earnings date. While this approach is not as accurate as a detailed calculation, it does serve as a reasonably accurate estimate. Monday Nothing of note Tuesday SE – 11.3% CRWV – 18.4% Wednesday CSCO – 5.3% Thursday AMAT – 6.0% PBR – 4.0% NU – 8.6% JD – 6.2% Friday Nothing of note Option traders can use these expected moves to structure trades. Bearish traders can look at selling bear call spreads outside the expected range. Bullish traders can sell bull put spreads outside the expected range, or look at naked puts for those with a higher risk tolerance. Neutral traders can look at iron condors. When trading iron condors over earnings, it is best to keep the short strikes outside the expected range. When trading options over earnings, it is best to stick to risk defined strategies and keep position size small. If the stock makes a larger than expected move and the trade suffers a full loss, it should not have more than a 1-3% effect on your portfolio. Stocks With High Implied Volatility We can use Barchart's Stock Screener to find other stocks with high implied volatility. Let's run the stock screener with the following filters: Total call volume: Greater than 5,000 Market Cap: Greater than 40 billion IV Percentile: Greater than 50% This screener produces the following results sorted by IV Percentile. You can refer to this article for details of how to find option trades for this earnings season.

CoreWeave, Circle, Cisco: Earnings to watch this week
Yahoo Finance Markets Reporter Josh Schafer outlines the biggest earnings reports investors should watch for this week, starting Tuesday, Aug. 12. CoreWeave (CRWV) announces second quarter results on Tuesday after markets close. Circle (CRCL) will release its second quarter results on Tuesday before markets open — its first earnings report as a publicly traded company. Circle is expected to report revenue of $648 million and a loss of $1.01 per share. Cisco (CSCO) will deliver fourth quarter earnings after markets close on Wednesday. Analysts are expecting to see revenue growth in the results. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend. Let's take a look at what to watch in earnings coming up. We're going to have Coreweave, Circle, and Cisco all reporting. Coreweave reporting its second quarter earnings after the market close on Tuesday. Investors watching the cloud software company after announcing it would acquire data center provider Core Scientific for $9 billion. That had been something that weighed on that stock over the course of this past quarter. Also, reporting on Tuesday is Circle, sharing its second quarter results before the market opens. The stable coin issuer is reporting its first quarter as a publicly traded company. Street consensus estimates expect Circle to report a loss of $1.01 per share in revenue of $648 million. Finally, Cisco reporting its fourth quarter results on Wednesday after the market close. Cisco, a communication equipment manufacturer, is expected to report a growth in revenue following declines throughout fiscal 2024. AI demand and Cisco's enterprise IT products are anticipated to be the key drivers there. Analysts say that 2026 guidance will be of greater focus for investors anticipating further product growth in spite of tariff uncertainty.

Nobody reads UN reports
The United Nations produces over 1,000 reports a year, but most are barely read, according to the organization's own study into how to make its work more 'impactful and coherent.' The revelation comes as the UN marks its 80th anniversary amid a deepening identity crisis. In March, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres launched the UN80 Taskforce – a reform initiative aimed at reviewing how the Secretariat implements thousands of mandates and at reducing administrative overload. According to a report released Thursday, the Secretariat published 1,100 reports last year – a 20% increase since 1990 – and supported 27,000 meetings involving 240 entities. 'The sheer number of meetings and reports is pushing the system – and all of us – to the breaking point,' Guterres said during a briefing on Friday. Many of these reports are not widely read. The top 5% of reports are downloaded more than 5,500 times, while one in five reports receives fewer than 1,000 downloads. And downloading doesn't necessarily mean reading. It remains unclear how many people downloaded the latest report about reports, but a UN tweet about the efficiency reform effort – despite featuring an engaging video clip – had gathered fewer than 5,000 views at the time of writing. Secretary-General @antonioguterres' remarks to the Informal Meeting of the General Assembly Plenary on the UN80 Initiative: 👇👇 Founded in the aftermath of World War II by the Soviet Union, United States, UK, France, and China, the organization initially had 51 members and was created to prevent wars and promote cooperation. Now with 193 member states, the UN faces what many experts describe as a credibility crisis. Guterres has pushed back, insisting that 'our values have never been more relevant.' Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during a meeting with Guterres at a BRICS summit last year that the UN should reform to keep pace with global changes and provide greater representation for developing nations. India has also been among the most fervent advocates for reforming global governance institutions, with Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar comparing the UN to 'an old company' that is not keeping up with the market but still 'occupying space.'

Coca-Cola, GM, Alphabet, Tesla: Earnings to watch this week
Asking for a Trend host Josh Lipton breaks down the major earnings reports to keep an eye on this coming week. On Monday, Verizon (VZ), Ryanair (RYAAY), and Domino's (DPZ) will publish earnings reports. On Tuesday, Coca-Cola (KO), Lockheed Martin (LMT), General Motors (GM), RTX (RTX), Sherwin-Williams (SHW), and D.R. Horton (DHI) report results. Coca-Cola will post its second quarter results on Tuesday before the opening bell, just days after President Trump said the company will start to use cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. GM is also reporting its second quarter results before markets open on Tuesday, as analysts expect numbers to be in line with estimates. On Wednesday, AT&T (T), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), IBM (IBM), GE Vernova (GEV), Tesla (TSLA), and T-Mobile (TMUS) are releasing earnings. Alphabet's second quarter results will be out after the markets close on Wednesday. CapEx, ad prices, and cloud are all in focus for Alphabet. Tesla's second quarter numbers are also out Wednesday after the closing bell. Analysts expect earnings to be in line with estimates. Time now for to watch in earnings. It's a big batch of earnings coming up including Coca-Cola, General Motors, Alphabet, and Tesla. Starting off on Coca-Cola, Coke will point results for the second quarter on Tuesday. This is coming after a Truth Social post from President Trump saying that he had talks with the company about using real sugarcane in its products, a claim that Coca-Cola did not confirm. Shifting gears to General Motors. GM is posting second quarter numbers on Tuesday. Analyst expecting the company to report earnings in line with analyst estimates, but like most players in the EV space, tax credit changes could cause issues ahead for the automaker. And moving over to Alphabet, the Google parent company reporting Q2 earnings on Wednesday. Investors keep a close eye, of course, on AI investments that may push up the company's capital expenditures. Ad prices and the cloud business also in focus for Alphabet with analysts anticipating Google Cloud to grow around 27% in the quarter. And finally, Tesla announced results for the second quarter on Wednesday. Analysts expecting Elon Musk's company to meet estimates for Q2. That's driven by stronger sales of the updated Model Y, but the recent rollback of EV tax credits under President Trump's big beautiful bill could pose challenges for Tesla going forward.
