Speculating On CPB Earnings
(Click on image to enlarge)
Apparently, I’m in a gambling mood as I prepare to head to Vegas later today for the WPT Wynn Poker World Championship. In addition to the DocuSign (DOCU) calls I wrote about last night I’m looking to speculate on Campbell Soup (CPB) earnings as well. I’ve owned CPB for nine months with an average price of $42.25 so it’s been straight up since I bought shares. I see no reason for the trend to end now. CPB has a weak comp as Organic Sales were -4% a year ago as the economy was coming out of the pandemic in a very different economic environment from the current one.
CPB is a slower-moving stock than DOCU so we can’t be as aggressive in our strike price. In addition to the shares I own I’m looking to turbocharge my position in CPB heading into earnings Wednesday morning by buying calls. I bought CPB $54 Dec09 Calls for 68 cents. We need about a 3% move from CPB for these calls to be in the money but I don’t see why another good quarter wouldn’t get many investors' attention from one of only a few stocks currently at 52-week highs.
