Three bullish call trades hit the Marvell tape between Friday and Monday morning, roughly 6.5 million dollars in premium combined. Most of that money went to the only expiration that survives the August 27 earnings report. The rest expires almost two weeks before the print.
That split is the whole story. The short dated bets need a bigger move than the market is pricing, about a one in twelve shot, while the one that owns earnings sits closer to one in four. Marvell has run from near 160 to 216 in two weeks. Education, not a recommendation.
