Get Ready For A Slug Of New Earning Reports

The stock Ford reports 7/30/2025 (Post-Market). In a July 2nd blog I did Ford talked about their June sales. Here is something I posted in that blog. Ford jumped $.50 cents on news of an increase in sales and this is how this one series of Calls (which were "out-of-the-money" with one day to go) jumped. This upward moment in price was like an once in a 100 day occurance. So will earning's be good this quarter? Has Ford's recent good news story now lost it's importance. It's only natural to be forward thinking. General Motors has earning report coming out before the market opens this Tuesday. The two stocks sometimes reflect the same market momentim.

Sales were up, that seems to be for the short term the most important thing. Ford has however lost market share over the last few years.
Here is a mid afternoon look at how one series of Call options look. It only really shows part of the action.
One point is that you could have been waiting for this opportunity. The second point is that watching a ten dollar stock is not as exciting as watching a $600.00 stock like Eli Lilly. A run of recent good earnimg reports has caught many option traders sleeping. Ford options plays on their "earning-report-releases" are a staple to come back to time and time again, for many option players.
