Implied Volatility Surging for Chesapeake Energy (CHK) Stock Options.
Investors in Chesapeake Energy Corporation CHK need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the August 25th, 2017 $6.50 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Chesapeake Energy shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Chesapeake Energy is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Oil and Gas – Exploration and Production – U. S. industry that ranks in the Bottom 36% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst has increased earnings estimates for the current quarter, while eight analysts have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 18 cents per share to 16 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Chesapeake Energy right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Often times, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +25% per year. These returns cover a period from 1988-2016 and were examined and attested by Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, an independent accounting firm. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zack Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.
