Options Corner: HPE All-Time High Run Into Earnings
HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) surged to a new 52‑week high, up 116% year‑over‑year, prompting options analysts to dissect the move ahead of its earnings report. Technicians highlighted a steep upward channel culminating in a bullish breakout above the 38.58 level, with RSI staying over 70 despite minor bearish divergence. Support zones identified near $34‑$35 and $32, while the 5‑day EMA sits just under $37. Options strategist Tom White recommended a $42‑$50 call vertical expiring in June, costing about $240 debit, giving a break‑even near $44—well within the market‑priced ±$6 move for the earnings window. The low‑capital strategy lets traders capture upside without full share exposure, while reflecting broader confidence in server‑infrastructure firms as Dell, Cisco and others rally, potentially shaping positioning ahead of HPE’s earnings.
