2 hours agoseekingalpha

Options Market Signal: With no analyst consensus, the options market serves as the sole price discovery mechanism for GameStop, currently priced at $23.03, with an expected move of 7-8% by Friday's expiration.
Bullish Call Dominance: The $25 call option is the most active contract with 9,355 traded, indicating strong market confidence in CEO Ryan Cohen's acquisition plans, suggesting investors are more focused on potential M&A timing than quarterly results.
Long-Term Bets: The open interest for the $30 call option stands at 10,668 contracts, indicating that investors are betting on Cohen's acquisition strategy yielding significant returns, despite this price being well beyond reasonable earnings-driven moves.
Short Squeeze Potential: With short interest at 14.7%, GameStop retains significant short squeeze potential if sentiment turns positive, and the options chain reflects a blend of strategic positioning and speculative energy, which could lead to volatile price movements.
