Options traders looked past a glum reading on home sales as they took bullish
positions on a number of home-builder stocks.
One of the companies in focus was Beazer Homes USA, whose shares have fallen
by nearly a half since May. Traders scooped up more than 4,000 $5 November call
options that make money if the stock gains at least 41% in the next three
months. Beazer's shares gained 17 cents, or 4.9%, to $3.64.
The same investors also appeared to sell a similar number of $2.50 November
Beazer puts in a bullish "risk reversal" trade. Selling puts allows traders to
collect a premium on the view that the stock is unlikely to fall below certain
levels, and is worth owning if it does.
Home-builder stocks were broadly higher Wednesday, shrugging off data showing
July new-home sales dropped to a record low. A surprise profit by Toll
Brothers helped.
