ZM Zoom Video Communications Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold ZM here:
or ahead of the previous earnings:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of RUM Rumble prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 60usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2023-11-24,
for a premium of approximately $1.25.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Buy ZOOM ahead of their earnings.I have made several big calls this past month of stocks which I think could rally after their earnings call, and ZOOM is one of them...
Here is a chart break down of ZOOM's price action since its IPO back in 2019.
Stock was earning 120 million trading at $105 a share back in 2019 before Covid19 even existed. The stock has been slaughter the past 24 months falling 90%. However the past 6 months there is real evidence that the stock is trying to form a bottom and I believe the stock is a buy here now that is is only 5% off its all time low.
In Q2 2023 back in August, ZOOM announced new features which they were adding to their service which included AI tools. fast forward 1 month and ZOOM announced that their AI tool had already performed 1 million meeting summaries which suggests that their new AI premium upgrade has been very successful. I expect the stock next Monday after the closing bell to announce higher revenue than expected and this could give a stock with no expectations what so ever the opportunity to rally higher towards my TP of $70 which is 13% higher than where the stock currently trades today.
ZM: Zoom has officially topped...Short it.I'm short $ZM since earlier today, I believe it has peaked here. Investors are likely to take profits now that competition has increased dramatically for them.
They thrived when the world was locked down due to the threat of COVID-19, but now that vaccines will be widely available and distributed globally very soon, holding shares has become extremely risky. I'd urge everyone holding to sell and buy something oversold with proceeds...If interested in knowing what to buy now, contact me.
A short here has very low risk, I think it can last for a long time falling, so do your own due diligence with sizing to not risk more than 1-2% if it goes against you by 3 average ranges.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
