DraftKings Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

<p>Canaccord Genuity  analyst Joseph Vafi   maintains Payfare (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAY#TSX">PAY</a>) with a Hold and raises the price target from C$2 to C$4.</p>

TSX:PAY

Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on Payfare, Raises Price Target to C$4

<p>After suffering a recent earnings miss combined with a challenging economic backdrop, shares of recreational vehicle provider <strong>Winnebago Industries, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WGO#NYSE">WGO</a>) have printed gobs of red ink over the trailing month. Nevertheless, historical data reveals that investors tend to view bouts of unusual volatility as a buying opportunity, thus making the case for bullish speculation.</p>
<p>First, one of the main contributors to the downside in WGO stock centers on the underlying company's fiscal-first-quarter results. Winnebago <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42615254/winnebago-industries-stock-falls-after-q1-earnings-miss-amid-challenging-marine-operating-environment">reported an adjusted loss per share of 3 cents</a>, badly missing analysts' consensus view of 20 cents. Further, revenue slipped 18% on a year-over-year basis to $625.6 million, also missing the estimated target of $672.232 million.</p>
<p>Second, management provided additional context, but this failed to bolster investor confidence. "As expected, the RV and marine operating environment remained challenging in the first quarter, marked by subdued consumer demand and a cautious dealer network reluctant to make significant commitments on new orders ahead of the historically slow winter season," said President and CEO <strong>Michael Happe</strong>.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the head executive stated that the company anticipates a rise in demand as the RV and marine markets enter the more sales-friendly spring season. To be fair, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42654183/is-winnebago-industries-steering-towards-a-turnaround-in-h2-analysts-are-split">analyst views on a turnaround for WGO stock are split</a>. However, a fundamental argument for upside speculation does exist.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Historical Trends Favor WGO Stock as a Value Play</h2>
<p>Under normal market circumstances, Winnebago stock tends to carry a neutral trajectory. Specifically, over the trailing five years, the odds that on any given Friday, WGO would generate a positive return relative to Monday's opening price comes in at 50.2%. This figure is calculated by dividing the number of positive weeks over the total number of weeks in the dataset (i.e. last five years).</p>
<p>However, this baseline metric doesn't reveal the emotional shifts in sentiment that may occur during periods of unusual volatility. In other words, pricing events that extend multiple standard deviations below the mean could impact the fear-greed continuum much more greatly than normal market sessions. Therefore, data-driven investors may be better served with a Bayesian inference to calculate <em>conditional</em> probabilities.</p>
<p>Last week, WGO stock lost 9.49% of its market value, which is a rare occurrence. In the past five years, there have only been 14 instances (not including last week) where WGO lost 9.49% or worse. Interestingly, eight of the following weeks saw a positive return or a success ratio of 57.14%.</p>
<p>Additional context makes Winnebago even more enticing. Four of the weekly losses totaling 9.49% or worse occurred in February and March of 2020. Presumably, most investors agree that COVID-19 represents a unique market impact that's unlikely to materialize again anytime soon.</p>
<p>Taking out the impact of COVID-19, the success ratio improves to 70%, with 10 weeks seeing a loss of 9.49% or worse and seven of the following weeks resulting in a positive return.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bull Call Spread Beckons</h2>
<p>Considering investors&#8217; tendency to buy the dip in WGO stock, speculators may want to consider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread#:~:text=A%20bull%20call%20spread%20involves,expires%20on%20the%20same%20date.">bull call spreads</a> of Winnebago shares. This options strategy involves buying a call and simultaneously selling a call, both for the same expiration date. The idea is to take the credit from the short call to partially offset the debit paid for the long call, thus discounting the long position.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="374" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-1024x374.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-708024" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-1024x374.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-300x110.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-768x281.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain-1536x562.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/26135830/WGO-stock-options-chain.jpg 1578w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></p>
<p>For WGO stock, the next available options chain expires on Jan. 17, 2025. Given the skepticism surrounding Winnebago's business and comeback intentions, market makers are currently providing attractive pricing for bull call spreads.</p>
<p>For example, the Jan. 17 47.50/50.00 bull call spread — buy the $47.50 call, simultaneously sell the $50 call — carries a net debit of $125 after applying the options multiplier. Should WGO stock hit or exceed the short call strike price of $50, the payout is the difference between the strike prices minus the net debit paid or $125.</p>
<p>In other words, within a few weeks, bullish speculators have the opportunity to pocket a 100% payout. That's an enticing proposition, given that, statistically, investors tend to load the boat when WGO stock encounters unusually steep volatility.</p>

<p><strong>Paylocity Holding's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCTY#NYSE">PCTY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 25.09% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>925 thousand shares sold short</strong>, which is 2.12% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 2.7 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

Downdetector Says User Reports Indicate Problems At OpenAi; ChatGPT, API, And Sora Is Currently Experiencing High Error Rates, Issue Caused By An Upstream Provider

<p>An endorsement of a weight-loss drug by world's richest man <strong>Elon Musk</strong> could prove beneficial in the battle between two health care companies seeing revenue growth and soaring stock prices as interest in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/weight-loss-drug">weight-loss drugs grows.</a></p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> A post from Musk on Christmas shared his latest take on weight-loss drugs and could provide a suggestion to anyone<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42291702/obesity-drug-wars-heat-up-amgen-challenges-eli-lilly-novos-dominance"> trying to decide</a> between <strong>Eli Lilly's </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Mounjaro and <strong>Novo Nordisk's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) Ozempic for weight-loss treatment.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1872086971557761348">post </a>from Musk called himself "Ozempic Santa." Despite the post labeled with Ozempic, Musk admitted in the comments that it is actually Mounjaro that he has taken for weight-loss support.</p>

<p></p></figure></p>
<p>"Technically, Mounjaro, but that doesn't have the same ring to it," Musk tweeted.</p>
<p>Mounjaro and Ozempic are both GLP-1 receptors that can be used to help people with diabetes. The treatments are also increasing in popularity as weight-loss options for people around the world.</p>
<p>When it comes to the two weight-loss drug options, Musk shared his personal takes on both.</p>
<p>"High doses of Ozempic made me fart &amp; burp like Barney from The Simpson's. Mounjaro seems to have fewer side effects and be more effective," Musk said.</p>
<p>With the Christmas posts, Musk has now shared publicly that he has tried Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy, another treatment from Novo Nordisk.</p>

<p><strong>Why It's Important:</strong> Musk's Christmas post, continues his public support for weight-loss drugs.</p>

Zoomd Technologies Celebrates Profitable Quarter

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>The market rally is causing investors to become more and more aggressive recently, and I believe this trend could accelerate as the rally continues. Thus, it seems to be a good time to buy some speculative stocks. Sub-$1 <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/penny-stocks/">penny stocks</a> are as speculative as you can get in the stock market. It&rsquo;s not enough for the stock to be listed on any major exchange, so we&rsquo;re almost dealing with pure pink sheets here, except for two stocks.</p>



<p>These companies have very little information about them available online and are rarely covered by analysts. Regardless, if these companies land big contracts or capture a good amount of market share in their sectors, you can easily realize 10,000%-plus gains from them in a short amount of time. The inverse is also true, so you should be very careful about what you&rsquo;re putting your money into. You&rsquo;ll only find lottery tickers below $1.</p>



<p>So, let&rsquo;s explore the seven sub-$1 penny stocks that may be worthy of consideration. </p>



<h2>NamSys (NMYSF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/bonus-pay-money-300x169.jpg" alt="100 dollar bills being passed from one hand to the other. Can represent stimulus checks or payment. millionaire-maker stocks"><div>Source: Maryna Pleshkun/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>NamSys Inc.</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nmysf-stock-quote/"><strong>NMYSF</strong></a></span>) provides cloud-based cash management and currency processing software solutions, primarily serving the banking and retail sectors in North America. It has a SaaS business model, which is driving robust recurring revenue growth.</p>



<p>The company <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CTZ:CVE" target="_blank">reported total revenue of 1.66 million CAD</a> for the quarter, up an impressive 9.3% year-over-year (<strong>YOY</strong>). Notably, recurring revenue from software subscriptions, hosted services and product support surged 9.2% to 1.64 million CAD. Its flagship Cirreon Smart Safe platform is also very sticky and has little customer churn. Additionally, gross margins expanded by 1.8 percentage points to a healthy 63%.</p>



<p>While the stock has treaded water over the past five years, NamSys&rsquo; accelerating financial momentum could be the catalyst to propel shares significantly higher going forward.</p>



<h2>MariaDB (MRDB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/cloud1600c-300x169.jpg" alt="image of a cloud surrounded by various symbols related to internet connectivity and interaction"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>MariaDB</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mrdb-stock-quote/"><strong>MRDB</strong></a></span>) is a cutting-edge cloud database company providing businesses with an open-source relational database solution. MRDB&rsquo;s flagship product offers cross-cloud flexibility and universal accessibility that appeals to organizations of all sizes. Developers praise its intuitive design, adaptability and game-changing impact within the open-source domain. In fact, it&rsquo;s been <a href="https://mariadb.com/database-topics/mariadb-vs-mysql/" target="_blank">downloaded over one billion times to date</a> and has dethroned MySQL as the go-to in Linux distributions.</p>



<p>Despite a rocky five-year stock performance, MariaDB seems to be orchestrating an impressive turnaround in recent months. Shares have skyrocketed more than 100% year-to-date (<strong>YTD</strong>). So, if the company can sustain its current growth trajectory, this rally could still have plenty of runway ahead.</p>



<p>Admittedly, gaping losses have been MariaDB&rsquo;s Achilles heel in years past. However, management deserves kudos for slashing those deficits dramatically over the last three quarters. In Q1 of 2024, net losses <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MRDB:NYSE" target="_blank">narrowed</a> to $3.5 million from $17.6 million two quarters ago. Similarly, the operating cash burn was more than halved to $7.2 million.</p>



<p>Now, MariaDB is by no means out of the woods just yet. Liquidity concerns can&rsquo;t be brushed aside. But if the company continues executing on its streamlining initiatives while driving breakneck top-line expansion, MRDB could deliver big upside.</p>



<h2>5G Networks (MLBEF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/global-earth-connections-mapped-300x169.jpg" alt="Global network of map points"><div>Source: Blue Planet Studio/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>While the &ldquo;5G&rdquo; in its name may confuse some investors, the company actually has no relation to the 5G cellular standard rollout by telcos. Instead, <strong>5G Networks</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mlbef-stock-quote/"><strong>MLBEF</strong></a></span>) is determined to be the one-stop-shop for Oceania businesses&rsquo; entire cloud and connectivity needs. The <a href="https://5gnetworks.au/news/webcentral-and-5g-networks-agree-to-merge/" target="_blank">merger with Webcentral</a> has created Australia&rsquo;s largest independent provider in this space. It now commands over 330,000 customers.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/5GN:ASX" target="_blank">Revenues were 96.1 million AUD</a>, which was basically flat for all of 2023. However, the company trimmed losses by 23.57%. I believe it has enough cash to handle losses until it turns profitable since the company is already giving cash back to shareholders. Also, 5G Networks has announced the cancellation of 816,123 of its ordinary fully paid shares following an on-market buy-back process concluded on June 28, 2024. It repurchased a total of 3,678,256 ordinary fully paid shares on the previous trading day. This is part of a larger cumulative buy-back of 20,943,629 shares to date, as <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/news/company-announcements/5g-networks-limited-continues-share-buy-back-4" target="_blank">reported by TipRanks</a>.</p>



<p>I personally think this is a bit premature, given the company hasn&rsquo;t achieved profitability yet. However, it is still promising.</p>



<h2>Zoomd Technologies (ZMDTF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/digital_marketing_16-300x169.png" alt="a photo of someone typing on a laptop on a wooden table with computer-related images"><div>Source: My Life Graphic/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Zoomd Technologies</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/zmdtf-stock-quote/"><strong>ZMDTF</strong></a></span>) is a rising star in the marketing technology arena. Based on their latest earnings report, I believe this sub-$1 penny stock has the potential for explosive growth. The company&rsquo;s revenue <a href="https://zoomd.com/zoomd-technologies-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results/" target="_blank">increased by 16%</a> compared to the previous quarter, and profitability is finally within reach after six consecutive quarters of net losses.</p>



<p>Last year, management made tough but necessary strategic decisions to refocus the business. Those moves are clearly paying off. Operating profit surged nearly 950% quarter-over-quarter to $0.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA also skyrocketed by $1 million to reach $1.2 million. ZMDTF achieved this while keeping capital expenditures steady, showing an impressive ability to drive higher returns without overextending.</p>



<p>With a cash balance of $2.3 million and no long-term debt, Zoomd Technologies looks well-positioned to capitalize on the booming digital advertising market. Its unified user acquisition platform should see robust demand as more businesses shift ad dollars online.</p>



<h2>OneMeta (ONEI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/software1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="A man examines a digital screen with different icons for software."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>OneMeta</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/onei-stock-quote/"><strong>ONEI</strong></a></span>) aims to break down global communication barriers with AI-powered software. The company reported a tiny revenue of <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/ONEI:OTCMKTS" target="_blank">$5,387 for the first quarter of 2024</a>, a 70% increase compared to the same period last year.</p>



<p>Despite the losses, I believe OneMeta holds good potential. Their flagship product transforms smartphones into personal translators. This technology could revolutionize international communication. In April 2024, they <a href="https://www.accesswire.com/856368/onemeta-begins-translation-services-for-the-archdiocese-of-oklahoma-city" target="_blank">began</a> providing translation services for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Also, they claimed to have reduced translation and transcription speed to under 200 milliseconds.</p>



<p>However, you should keep the risks in mind. The company operates in a competitive space, with tech giants heavily investing in translation technologies.</p>



<p>Nonetheless, OneMeta&rsquo;s stock has surged 117% over the past year. If the company can effectively scale its services and show a clear roadmap to profitability, I believe OneMeta could become a major player in the global communication space.</p>



<h2>Skkynet Cloud Systems (SKKY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/cloud-computing-300x169.jpg" alt="an image of a cloud imprinted on a circuit board lit up by blue circuit lights. AVCT stock. cloud computing stocks"><div>Source: Blackboard / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Skkynet Cloud Systems</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/skky-stock-quote/"><strong>SKKY</strong></a></span>) provides industrial companies with real-time data and cloud solutions. The market for these services is growing strongly due to the AI and machine learning boom. Startups like Skkynet Cloud Systems are well-positioned to benefit from this trend as more companies look to diversify their cloud operations beyond Big Tech providers.</p>



<p>In Q2 of fiscal year 2024, Skkynet&rsquo;s <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/filings/pdf/17621353" target="_blank">revenue increased 28% YOY to $601,806</a>. While still a small company, this growth is encouraging. However, losses did expand.</p>



<p>SKKY ended the quarter with $1.03 million in cash, up from $916,780 in October 2023. Its balance sheet looks clean, with minimal liabilities. Deferred revenue, a key indicator of future growth, stands at $372,451.</p>



<p>While still losing money, I&rsquo;m optimistic about the company&rsquo;s prospects in the fast-growing industrial cloud space. If it can continue scaling rapidly and win new enterprise contracts, we could see this sub-$1 stock deliver explosive returns in the coming years.</p>



<h2>Global Mofy Metaverse (GMM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/metaverse-1600-300x169.png" alt="Illustration of the metaverse. A young boy wearing a VR headset is in the metaverse."><div>Source: PopTika / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Global Mofy Metaverse Limited</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gmm-stock-quote/"><strong>GMM</strong></a></span>) is a technology solutions company focused on virtual content for the metaverse. While I see immense potential in this burgeoning industry, the metaverse remains a niche market that may be ahead of its time for mainstream adoption.</p>



<p>However, Global Mofy Metaverse&rsquo;s recent moves and financial results suggest it could be a pioneer in this space. The company&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.stocktitan.net/news/GMM/global-mofy-metaverse-launches-69-million-fund-with-strategic-rycf3kvnexo2.html" target="_blank">$69 million fund launch</a> could lead to aggressive growth.</p>



<p>Plus, I&rsquo;m optimistic about the partnership between GMM&rsquo;s subsidiary, Gauss AI, and Heartdub to develop a generative video AI platform, which could lead to something meaningful. Global Mofy Metaverse&rsquo;s record fiscal 2023 revenue of $26.9 million is pretty solid for a penny stock.</p>



<p>Regardless, the price is below <strong>Nasdaq&rsquo;s</strong> $1 minimum, so keep an eye out for a reverse split.</p>



<p><em><strong>On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:</strong>&#8239;With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day.
