ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Options Ahead of Earnings

Mar 10, 2024

Analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 12usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2024-3-15,
for a premium of approximately $1.60.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

Trade closed: target reached

ZIM traded at $9.45 last Friday, the expiration day, after earnings. The puts went up from $1.60 (when I wrote this article) to $2.55 at the close (higher intraday), resulting in about a 65% gain!
