Good options stocks right now


Aime
The deep research logic is organized as follows:
Okay, let's tackle this question about good options stocks right now. The user is interested in options stocks, so I need to focus on companies with high implied volatility, active options trading, and recent news that could impact their stock prices.
First, I'll check the references provided. The user mentioned they're interested in sectors like the Metaverse, US Tech, Wireless Charging, Wearable Tech, and Virtual Reality. But looking at the data, the top stocks from the query (Number 1) include SSRM, CHA, BBDO, EQX.A, BARK, HQY, CVV, STM, KFFB, and AKAN. None of these seem directly related to the user's sectors, but maybe some have potential based on recent news or technicals.
From the query results (Number 1), the top 10 stocks are sorted by Quantitative Recommendation Score. SSRM has a score of 0.6, which is the highest. But looking at the news (Numbers 3,4), SSRM temporarily suspended operations due to forest fires. That's a red flag. However, the stock price closed at $12.31 with a 5-day moving average of $12.22, so it's above all moving averages. The volume ratio is 2.98, which is high. The implied volatility from Number 6 shows some options with very high IV, like 467%, which could be a good candidate for selling options. But the company's operations being suspended might make it too risky.
Next, CHA (Chagee Holdings) has a high Quantitative Score of 0.56. The earnings call transcripts (Numbers 7-10) mention rapid expansion, same-store sales growth, and international success. The stock price is $35.08 with a 5-day MA of $31.06, so it's above all MAs. The volume ratio is 2.03. However, the options market for CHA (Number 11) has 0 results, which might mean low liquidity. The user prefers active options trading, so maybe not the best choice.
BBDO (Bank Bradesco) has a low Quantitative Score of 0.4. The volume ratio is 3.61, which is high, but the stock price is only $2.59. The options query (Number 16) also has 0 results, so again, low liquidity. Not ideal for options trading.
EQX.A (Equinox Gold) has a score of 0.35. The stock price is $7.11, above all MAs. The options data (Numbers 17-20) show high implied volatility, like 57% and 92.19% for some contracts. The company's recent news (Number 18) mentions high IV and options activity. This could be a good candidate for options strategies like selling puts or calls due to high IV. The user's interest in technicals like ATR and volatility aligns here.
BARK has a score of 0.35. The stock price is $1.35, which is above all MAs. The options data (Numbers 23-25) show some activity, but the IV is around 25-50%. The company reported positive EBITDA for the first time (Number 22), which is a positive sign. However, the stock is very low priced, which might not appeal to the user's interest in tech sectors.
HQY (Healthequity) has a score of 0.32. The stock price is $113.06, above all MAs. The options data (Number 31) show high open interest and trading volume. The company reported strong Q1 results (Number 27), which could drive future price movements. The high volume ratio (2.27) and IV (like 68.8% in some options) make it a good candidate for options trading. However, the user's sectors don't align with healthcare, but the technicals are strong.
CVV (CVD Equipment) has a score of 0.32. The stock price is $3.5, above all MAs. The options data (Numbers 32-36) show high IV (up to 94.8%) and historical volatility of 6.05%. The company's recent news (Number 37-40) mentions job cuts and revenue guidance, which could impact the stock. High IV and recent news make it a good options candidate.
STM (STMicroelectronics) has a score of 0.32. The stock price is $28.41, above all MAs. The options data (Number 41) show recent price movements. The company announced job cuts (Number 38) and mixed earnings (Number 37). The high volume ratio (2.28) and recent news could drive volatility. However, the user's interest in tech might align here as it's a semiconductor company.
KFFB (Kentucky First Federal) has a score of 0.32. The stock price is $2.66, above all MAs. The options data (Number 46) have 0 results, so low liquidity. The company reported improved financials (Numbers 42-45), but it's a small bank, not fitting the user's tech focus.
AKAN (Akanda) has a score of 0.31. The stock price is $1.44, above all MAs. The options data (Number 46) have 0 results. The company's recent news isn't provided, so it's hard to assess. Low liquidity and price might not appeal.
Considering the user's focus on technicals like 52-week high, ATR, and volatility, EQX.A and HQY stand out. EQX.A has high IV and recent news about options activity. HQY has high volume and open interest in options. However, the user's sectors don't align with these. Alternatively, looking at the user's interest in tech, maybe none of these fit perfectly, but EQX.A and HQY have the strongest options profiles. Alternatively, if the user is open to other sectors, these could be good picks. But since the user's sectors aren't directly covered, maybe suggest based on technicals and options activity.
