The options market is pricing in a 5.4% swing, higher or lower, in Nvidia shares during the session following earnings, according to Option Research & Technology Services. That's higher than the average move in its stock over the last 12 months following earnings.
In recent days, some of the most actively-traded Nvidia options contracts were put options tied to the shares falling to $205 and $195 apiece, down from its Tuesday closing price of $213.05, according to Cboe Global Markets Data. Put options give the right to sell shares at a set price, by a certain date.
