Unusual Activity Report

This daily report focuses on three key components that can lead to market momentum: unusual options activity, insider buying, and institutional sponsorship. By scanning for these signals each day, we uncover potential stock movements driven by notable trades, insider transactions, and institutional investments. Using advanced algorithms and proprietary research methods, we sift through vast amounts of data to identify unique opportunities, offering timely insights highlighting emerging market momentum.

Disclaimer: All data and information presented in this report are sourced from publicly available materials intended for informational purposes only. The content is not a recommendation to buy or sell securities and should not be relied upon as financial advice. Readers are encouraged to conduct their own research before making any investment decisions.

Standout Options Trades

This section highlights notable options trades reflecting significant sentiment—bullish, bearish, or mixed—characterized by high-dollar-value transactions or large trade sizes exceeding prior open interest. When open interest rises from the previous day, it often indicates the creation of new positions rather than the closing of existing ones, suggesting a fresh outlook on the underlying stock or ETF.

For instance, call buying generally signals an expectation of upward movement, while selling calls suggest the trader anticipates the price will stay below a certain level. Put selling reflects confidence that the price will hold above the strike, implying stability. In contrast, put buying may reveal a bearish outlook or serve as a hedge against a larger bullish position elsewhere.

This report highlights large, unusual options trades identified for their size and potential impact, representing individual sentiment rather than broad market consensus. These trades are informational and are not intended as buy or sell signals. They reflect noteworthy activity observed during the trading day and should be viewed as one part of a broader analysis.

Individual Options Trades: Trading Day 2025-5-28

This section focuses on unusual trades that stand out on an individual basis. These trades are highlighted for their distinctiveness, reflecting significant activity that diverges from typical market behavior.

Humana (HUM)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: Unusual activity was detected on May 28, 2025, as $245 strike CALLs expiring on June 13, 2025, were aggressively bought through multi-sweep orders. The trades exceeded prior open interest and occurred with the spot price at $231.55 and $231.78, respectively. The trades took place with sixteen days to expiry.
Total Values: $563,606 total premium paid across both trades
Strike Price: $245
Expectations: With the spot price below the $245 strike by approximately 5.7%, these call purchases suggest bullish sentiment anticipating that HUM could break above $245 within the next two weeks. The use of multi-sweeps and size exceeding open interest reinforces the conviction behind the move.

Enovix (ENVX)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, a high-premium trade involved the sale of PUT contracts with a $9 strike, expiring on February 20, 2026 (two hundred sixty-eight days to expiry). This trade exceeded prior open interest and was executed at a spot price of $8.09. The strike price sits above the current spot price by approximately 11.25%, suggesting confidence in price recovery.
Total Values: $750,000 premium collected
Strike Price: $9
Expectations: The premium was collected by selling PUTs with a strike above the spot price, indicating strong bullish sentiment. The seller is expressing conviction that ENVX will stay above $9 over the next several months, potentially targeting a rebound or support zone between $8 and $9.

WeRide (WRD)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, substantial put selling was recorded at the $12.50 strike expiring October 17, 2025 (one hundred forty-two days to expiry). Multiple multi-sweep trades exceeded prior open interest, with the spot price ranging between $10.70 and $10.75—placing the strike roughly 16% above current levels. The total premium collected from these put sales exceeded $1.2 million.
Complementary bullish call buying was also seen at the $12.50 and $15 strikes for the June 20, 2025 expiry (twenty-three days to expiry), indicating positioning for a near-term move higher.
Total Values: $1,204,971 premium collected through put selling
Strike Price: $12.50
Expectations: With the spot price around $10.71, the repeated sale of $12.50 PUTs at a strike well above market price reflects high-conviction bullish sentiment. The sellers are betting that WRD will trade above $12.50 by October, signaling expectations of a rebound or strong support forming near current levels.

Telephone and Data Systems (TDS)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, aggressive call buying targeted the August 15, 2025, expiration (seventy-nine days to expiry). Two significant trades exceeded prior open interest: one at the $25 strike with the spot price at $34.74 (deep in-the-money), while the other at the $35 strike with the spot price at $34.66 (slightly out-of-the-money). Both trades were multi-sweep or block-sized, indicating urgency and size by the buyer.
Total Values: $1,084,540 premium paid
Strike Price: $25 and $35
Expectations: With the spot price near $34.70, the deep in-the-money $25 call suggests a high-delta position, akin to equity exposure, while the $35 call expresses bullish directional intent with limited risk. The combination points to bullish sentiment with both leveraged upside positioning and synthetic long exposure over the next few months.

Ouster (OUST)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, aggressive call buying was observed across both short- and long-dated expirations. A notable trade involved the purchase of $11 strike CALLs expiring June 20, 2025 (twenty-three days to expiry), with the spot price exactly at $11.00, indicating at-the-money positioning. Simultaneously, multiple large trades targeted the January 16, 2026 expiration (two hundred thirty-three days to expiry) with $25 strike CALLs—well out-of-the-money with a 132.88% premium to spot. All trades exceeded prior open interest.
Total Values: $284,430 premium paid across all trades
Strike Price: $11 (short-term), $25 (long-term)
Expectations: The near-term $11 call purchase suggests traders are looking for a breakout or continued strength in the short term, while the large long-dated $25 calls imply a highly bullish longer-term outlook. The size and timing of the trades point to building momentum expectations and positioning for outsized upside over time.

BlackBerry (BB)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, a notable trade involved the aggressive purchase of $3 strike CALLs expiring May 30, 2025 (two days to expiry), with the spot price at $3.975. This in-the-money trade exceeded prior open interest and carried a high implied volatility of 3.24 sigma. It was preceded on May 27 by sustained call buying across multiple strikes and expiries, including June 27 ($3 and $5 strikes), September 19 ($9 strike), and January 2026 ($10 strike), all suggesting continued bullish speculation.
Total Values: $104,000 premium paid on May 28; over $300,000 in additional call premium paid on May 27
Strike Price: $3, $4.5, $5, $9, and $10
Expectations: With spot price at $3.975, the purchase of short-dated $3 strike CALLs indicates traders are seeking immediate upside or a potential volatility event. Simultaneously, longer-dated out-of-the-money call buying signals a broader bullish stance on BB’s potential rebound or news-driven move over the coming months.

Caesars Entertainment (CZR)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, a series of large PUT sales occurred at the $22 strike for the July 18, 2025 expiry (fifty-one days to expiry). All trades exceeded prior open interest and were executed while the spot price stood at $27.90, making the strike approximately 21.15% below the current market level. The size and repetition of these trades suggest strong conviction.
Total Values: $979,806 premium collected
Strike Price: $22
Expectations: With the strike far below the spot price, the sale of these PUTs reflects a bullish stance, with traders confident CZR will remain above $22 through mid-July. The size of the premium collected and the deep out-of-the-money positioning suggest either an income strategy or expectations of continued price stability or recovery.

Idaho Strategic Resources (IDR)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, call contracts at the $15 strike were aggressively bought for the June 20, 2025 expiry (twenty-three days to expiry). The trade exceeded prior open interest and occurred with the spot price at $13.97, placing the strike approximately 7.4% out-of-the-money.
Total Values: $25,320 premium paid
Strike Price: $15
Expectations: The trader is positioning for a short-term move above $15, reflecting bullish sentiment. With spot just below the strike and limited time to expiry, the trade suggests anticipation of a breakout or catalyst-driven move in the coming weeks.

Plug Power (PLUG)
Sentiment: Mixed
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, PLUG saw highly active options trading across multiple expiries centered at the $1 strike. Notably, long-dated call buying extended out to January 2026, while near-term calls (May 30, June 6, June 13) were also accumulated heavily. At the same time, substantial put buying—particularly for July 18, 2025—was observed at the same $1 strike, indicating protective or bearish positioning. Some small call sales occurred, adding to the complexity of sentiment.
Total Values:
Call Buying Premium Paid: $216,028
Put Buying Premium Paid: $196,594
Call Selling Premium Collected: $31,051
Put Selling Premium Collected: $5,162
Strike Price: Concentrated at $1
Expectations: With the spot price around $0.89, most of the call buying is slightly out-of-the-money, reflecting speculative bullish bets on a rebound. The repeated and large put purchases—especially for July—show concern over further downside or serve as hedges. The mixed sentiment implies traders are positioning for a volatile move in either direction, though the heavy call activity suggests hope for a turnaround remains alive.

Arm Holdings (ARM)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On both May 27 and May 28, 2025, significant long-dated call buying targeted the $130 strike for the June 17, 2027 expiration (seven hundred fifty-one and seven hundred fifty days to expiry, respectively). The first trade occurred with the spot price at $130.73, just slightly in-the-money, while the second was executed at a higher spot of $135.19, making the strike slightly out-of-the-money at the time. Both trades carried extremely high premium and were far larger than typical open interest, signaling strategic positioning.
Total Values: $19,941,630 in premium paid across both trades
Strike Price: $130
Expectations: These LEAPS call purchases reflect strong long-term bullish sentiment. The repeated commitment of nearly $10 million on back-to-back days shows confidence in ARM’s growth trajectory, potentially tied to expanding demand for its chip architecture in AI, mobile, or datacenter applications. The trader appears to be building a leveraged position to capture extended upside over the next two years.

QXO (QXO)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: Heavy call buying was observed throughout May 28, 2025, across two key expirations. For the June 20, 2025 expiry (twenty-three days to expiry), $18 strike calls were bought while the spot price ranged between $16.68 and $16.95. For the August 15, 2025 expiry (seventy-nine days to expiry), repeated multi-sweep orders targeted the same $18 strike, with the spot price near $17.16. All trades exceeded open interest and indicate strong directional conviction.
Total Values: $509,372 premium paid across all trades
Strike Price: $18
Expectations: With the spot price under $17.20, the buying of $18 strike calls reflects anticipation of short-term and medium-term price appreciation. The staggered positioning across both near- and mid-term expirations suggests traders are building exposure ahead of a potential breakout or upcoming catalyst expected to push the stock higher.

Five9 (FIVN)
Sentiment: Bullish
Options Activity: On May 28, 2025, aggressive call buying targeted the $30 strike expiring August 15, 2025 (seventy-nine days to expiry). All trades were executed as multi-sweep orders and exceeded prior open interest. The spot price at the time ranged from $26.78 to $27.03, placing the strike price roughly 11% to 12% out-of-the-money.
Total Values: $512,313 premium paid across all trades
Strike Price: $30
Expectations: With the spot price under $27, the consistent accumulation of $30 calls with over two months until expiry reflects bullish sentiment.

Institutional Spotlight: May 28, 2025

In today’s institutional spotlight, several notable disclosures point to renewed interest among high-profile investment firms in targeted consumer and specialty sectors, as influential fund managers accumulate meaningful positions in select equities.

Integrated Core Strategies (US) LLC, led by billionaire investor Israel Englander, disclosed a 5.30% stake in UTZ Brands Inc. (UTZ), totaling 4,524,080 shares. The purchase reflects continued confidence in the snack-food manufacturer’s long-term growth strategy and competitive footprint across U.S. grocery channels. Englander’s involvement signals a vote of confidence in UTZ’s ability to scale margin expansion and product penetration.

Meanwhile, Divisar Capital Management LLC, under the stewardship of Steven Baughman, revealed a significant position in BigCommerce Holdings Inc. (BIGC). With 4,390,325 shares representing 5.50% ownership, the move underscores a calculated bet on the potential turnaround and enterprise momentum of the e-commerce platform provider. Divisar’s entry may reflect growing optimism around cost restructuring and partnerships in the enterprise space.

Activist investment firm Impactive Capital LP, co-founded by Lauren Wolfe, filed a bold disclosure of 3,295,984 shares in Marriott Vacations Worldwide (VAC)—a position amounting to 9.50% ownership. The substantial stake puts the fund in close proximity to an activist threshold and implies a desire to influence governance or operational efficiency within the company’s vacation ownership and timeshare model. The timing comes as the leisure travel sector steadies amid broader consumer normalization.

Elsewhere, Beryl Capital Management LLC, led by event-driven investor David Witkin, reported 3,359,342 shares in PHX Minerals Inc. (PHX), securing an 8.90% stake. This sizable position suggests Beryl sees asymmetrical value in the small-cap energy producer, potentially tied to oil and gas asset monetization or M&A upside.

Millennium Management LLC, also run by Israel Englander, appeared again in today’s filings with a 5.10% stake in SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA), totaling 1,583,610 shares. The entry into the solar inverter space aligns with Millennium’s broader clean energy exposure and may reflect long-term interest in the European decarbonization theme and distributed energy solutions.

Additional notable entries include STRS Ohio and Stone Point Credit Income Fund, jointly disclosing a 17.60% ownership in a small-cap not specified by ticker (975,038 shares), which signals heavy concentration in the holding. Meanwhile, Shay Capital LLC made a forceful entrance into Tilly’s Inc. (TLYS) with 2,726,744 shares, representing 11.90% ownership. That level of engagement is rare for the youth apparel retailer and may imply positioning ahead of a potential strategic shift or transactional event.
