How to open a Bullish Debit Call Spreads on ER play $KEYSWhy a Bullish Debit Call Spread?
A Bullish Debit Call Spread is an ideal strategy when you're confident about a moderate increase in the stock price but want to limit your risk. This involves buying a call option at a lower strike price and selling another call option at a higher strike price with the same expiration date. The net effect is a reduced upfront cost compared to buying a single call option, with the trade-off being a capped profit potential.
Setting Up the Trade:
Strike Price Selection:
Buy Call Option: Choose a strike price slightly above the current stock price of $KEYS. This is the level you expect the stock to reach or exceed after earnings.
Sell Call Option: Select a strike price above the one you bought, typically at a level where you believe the stock is less likely to move beyond post-earnings.
Expiration Date:
Opt for an expiration date that provides enough time for the earnings reaction to play out, typically the nearest monthly expiration after the earnings report.
Risk Management:
Max Loss: The maximum loss on this trade is limited to the net debit paid (the difference between the cost of the call bought and the call sold).
Max Profit: The maximum profit is the difference between the strike prices minus the net debit paid.
Break-Even Point: The stock price at expiration must exceed the lower strike price plus the net debit paid for the spread to start generating profit.
Profit Targets and Stop Loss:
Profit Target: Set a target to close the trade for profit if the stock moves favorably towards the higher strike price before expiration.
Stop Loss: Consider exiting the trade if the stock moves significantly against you, or if the thesis behind the trade (a strong earnings report) does not play out as expected.
Final Thoughts:
This strategy is well-suited for traders expecting a positive earnings surprise from NYSE:KEYS but who prefer to manage their risk with a defined maximum loss. By structuring the trade with a spread, you can participate in the potential upside while minimizing the premium paid.

The company reported a 10% decline in second-quarter revenue in its communications solutions segment, which accounted for 67% of its total revenue in 2023. Revenue in its electronic industrial solutions segment fell 17% in the second quarter, reflecting continued constraints in semiconductor and manufacturing-related customer spending.

5/20/24 - $keys - uninteresting valuation for what you get-lower5/20/24 - vrockstar - NYSE:KEYS - not a short though i think my bias here is -ve all together. EPS that won't reach peak ('23) levels until a few years is a tough hurdle, especially at 20x. add to this 4% fcf yields which is fine, but not exceptional for this mediocre growth. at best this is an index tracker, and perhaps you have a more nuanced view on EPS - does seem like the bar is low-ish this Q. it's in the right (rising) tide, which helps, but i'd rather just own the fastest horses even at much more expensive valuations. i'm on the sidelines and probably not going to dip buy this either - regardless of the discount which keeps me uninterested in buying it to begin with. gl to the holders, curious if you have a more nuanced POV.

$KEYS on Breakout WatchKeysight has earnings out of the way and while it shows a red volume week on earnings, it’s positive to me because it closed in the upper range of that weekly candle. It is right up against what looks like a resistance area for over a year, save the few weeks it made an all time high in Dec 2021. I’m looking for this to break above that resistance line and make a run for the ATH’s last December. (One could even see a Cup with Handle formation here and ready to break above that handle area). If you take this trade, make it your own by following your entry and risk rules. Ideas, not investing / trading advice.

BCB Analysis
Keysight Selected by NIO to Verify Connectivity in EV'sKeys has had a great run throughout the last 12 months but has been pulling back down to its previous support / resistance area where it will be interesting to see if it bounces or continues down.
I did spot that in todays news, NIO has announced that they will be using KEYS to help test various connectivity functions within their Electric Vehicles. NIO is a pretty pumped stock so I wonder if there will be any flow on affect across to KEYS when the news spreads wider.
One to watch.
