Bears Eye Alpha Natural Resources Options

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:57:20 -0400

Today’s tickers: ANR, DWA & PVR

ANR - Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. – Front month put options changing hands on coal producer, Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., this morning suggests some traders are positioning for shares in the name to extend losses, with the stock down roughly 8.0% to a six-month low of $5.50. Coal stocks are being pressured for a second consecutive session on news released Friday that Walter Energy pulled out of a $1.55 billion refinancing loan due to market conditions. Traders bracing for Alpha’s shares to continue to slide in the near term snapped up roughly 3,000 puts at the Jun $5.5 strike for an average premium of $0.09 apiece today. The contracts make money at expiration if shares in ANR decline another 3.0% from the current price of $5.58 to settle below the average breakeven point at $5.41. Shares in the name last traded below $5.41 back in September of 2012.

DWA - Dreamworks Animation SKG, Inc. – Upside call options are active on Dreamworks this morning, with shares up as much as 8.5% near the open at a new 52-week high of $24.75 after the maker of animated feature films announced a multi-year deal to provide original content to video-streaming services company, Netflix. Traders positioning for shares in DWA to continue to climb picked up roughly 1,000 calls at the Jul $25 strike for an average premium of $0.63 apiece. Call buyers stand ready to profit at expiration next month should shares in Dreamworks climb another 3.5% to top $25.63.

Hollywood-China Love Affair On The Red Carpet At Chengdu Forum

Many of the usual global CEOs are in China this week for the annual Fortune Global Forum in the interior city of Chengdu, but what's really interesting this year is the presence of many big Hollywood executives. I use the word "interesting" instead of "surprising", because the presence of top executives from names like DreamWorks Animation (Nasdaq: DWA) and Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) isn't really that unexpected considering the sudden love affair between China and Hollywood that's developed rather rapidly over the last year and a half. Even the music industry is finally starting to believe in the huge potential of the China market, with the head of the US-based Recording Academy, organizer of the Grammy Awards, also attending the event in Chengdu.
