APOL is set to report quarterly earnings on April first and we are seeing some interesting unusual options activity leading into the release. Earlier this morning a trader bought 1,000 of the APOL Apr 4th 34 calls for $1.34. With the options market implying a move of around $3.65 by April 4th expiration it would appear that this trader is getting long the stock expecting a big move higher on earnings. We believe that this order flow is strong enough to signal for a long position in APOL.
