Back To The Well

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

Positioning For The Next Phase: Reindustrialization, Embodied AI, Energy, and Crypto—And How We’re Trading It

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.
