Trade Alert: Back To The Well

We exited trades in this stock for gains of 60% and 104% so far this year. Now it's back in our top ten, and we're trading it again.

Back To The Well

Today’s trade fits our core themes (and we called it out by name in our “Reindustrialization, Embodied AI & Energy”).

We’ve traded this name twice already this year and exited both for solid wins—roughly +60% and +104%—so we’re going back to the well with a risk-defined structure that lines up with our playbook.

Why this setup: options are still rich, so we’re using a four-leg combo that harvests elevated IV and defines risk. The structure pays us on entry in this case, and puts our break-even below the current stock price, giving us room if the name chops or pulls back before the next leg higher.

What we’re targeting: a ~150% return on the position if the stock trends the way we expect over the coming months. The per-contract ticket is a bit higher than some of our recent trades, but the trade-off is a friendlier break-even and the ability to let time and trend do the work while keeping max loss capped.

How it fits our themes: this company sits at the intersection of AI-driven hardware demand and American manufacturing—exactly where we want exposure. Today’s structure lets us stay true to our approach when options are expensive:

1. Harvest IV,

2. Secure a low (sub-spot) break-even,

3. Keep max risk defined, and

4. Set clear exit targets so we can take profits quickly if momentum resumes.

The stock is Celestica (CLS 0.00%↑), and our trade is a combo expiring on November 21st (after its October earnings), consisting of these four legs:

My plan:

• CLS Call Spread (legs 1 & 2): Open a GTC order to exit at a net credit of $8, and lower that price, if necessary, as we approach expiration.
