The shares of TJX Companies (TJX) broke out of a downtrend from August through October, and are currently above all daily and weekly trendlines. Furthermore, the stock is higher than the $64.50-$63.50 pivot that tends to produce volatile moves with moving averages trending higher that had previously been flat. Now, with TJX on an upwswing after bouncing off its year-over-year breakeven level this week, it looks like a good time to weigh in with calls.
At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), TJX’s 50-day put/call volume ratio recently peaked above 1.25 and has been unwinding since. Past peaks such as this have set up multi-month runs.
Despite the bullish tilt, analysts haven’t been more bearish in the past few years. Of the 25 analysts in coverage, six carry a tepid “hold” rating on TJX. Our recommended January 2023 62.50-strike call has a leverage ratio of 6 and will double in value on a 16.2% pop in the underlying shares.
