Weekly Option Windfall: Snowflake Call Spread Boasts 31% Profit Potential
The artificial intelligence boom has kicked into high gear. Snowflake is one of the companies leading the AI movement. Its cloud-based platform includes AI Data Cloud, which enables customers to consolidate data to drive meaningful business insights, build related applications, and solve complex business problems. The stock is displaying relative strength and hitting a series of 52-week highs. Recent price movement is a sign of strength as we head further into 2025. Increasing volume has attracted investor attention as buying pressure accumulates in this leading stock. Snowflake is part of the Zacks Internet - Software industry group, which currently ranks in the top 19% out of more than 250 industries. Because this group is ranked in the top half of all Zacks Ranked Industries, we expect it to outperform the market over the next 3 to 6 months, just as it has so far this year: Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Historical research studies suggest that approximately half of a stock's price appreciation is due to its industry grouping. In fact, the top 50% of Zacks Ranked Industries outperforms the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. It's no secret that investing in stocks that are part of leading industry groups can give us a leg up relative to the market. By focusing on leading stocks within the top industries, we can dramatically improve our stock-picking success. Snowflake solves long-standing challenges related to data silos and governance by providing secure access and sharing capabilities, often without moving or copying the data across multiple clouds. The company's customers can combine datasets, enhance data science efforts, and monetize insights with near-zero infrastructure maintenance. In the first-quarter, the company introduced more than 125 product capabilities to the market, a 100% increase year-over-year. Products like Generation 2 Warehouses, Adaptive Compute, Openflow and Snowflake Intelligence are helping drive new enterprise adoption. Snowflake's customer-centric, consumption-based pricing model ensures users only pay for the resources they use. This provides Snowflake with a recurring, high-margin revenue stream. Partnerships and acquisitions have been a key catalyst for Snowflake. The company's rich partner base includes the likes of NVIDIA, Amazon, Microsoft, ServiceNow and Meta Platforms. Snowflake SNOW has built up an impressive reporting history, surpassing earnings estimates in each of the past four quarters. The company delivered a trailing four-quarter average surprise of 34.7%. Growth trends remain quite favorable, with Snowflake's bottom line expected to leap 27.7% in fiscal 2026 to $1.06 per share. Revenues for the year are projected to surge 24.6% to $4.52 billion. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research While there are many ways to take advantage of a bullish move in SNOW stock, options provide us with flexibility, enabling us to tailor our strategy to the current market environment. When done correctly, trading options provides huge profit opportunities with limited risk, making options one of the most versatile investment vehicles. Before we analyze today's trade, let's review some option fundamentals as a refresher. There is no need to worry about complex mathematical formulas or equations. Over the years I've found that the more complicated a strategy is, the less likely it is to work over the long run. Options are standardized contracts that give the buyer the right – but not the obligation – to buy or sell the underlying stock at a fixed price, which is known as the strike price. A call option gives the buyer the right to buy a particular security, while a put option gives the buyer the right to sell the same. The investor who purchases an option, whether a put or call, is the option buyer, while the investor who sells a put or call is the seller or writer. These contracts are valid for a specific period of time which ends on expiration day. There are weekly options, monthly options, and even LEAPS options which are longer-term options that have an expiration date of greater than one year. Option spreads can be an extremely effective strategy. Debit spreads are implemented by purchasing a call option and selling a related call option with a higher strike price. These types of trades are limited risk trades because the short option is 'covered' by the option purchase. Below we're going to explore a call option spread strategy. Snowflake has been outperforming the market off the April lows and currently meets our criteria for initiating a bullish call option spread position. Image Source: StockCharts The table below displays the risk/reward profile for this trade. SNOW is trading at $217.34/share at the time of this writing. This trade involves purchasing the August 190-strike call at 30.2 points (yellow box), and selling the August 200-strike call at 22.6 points (orange box) for a total cost of 7.6 points. As option contracts represent 100 shares of the underlying security, this would translate to a total cost of just $760 per spread (brown box). Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The top (blue) row in the lower section shows the performance of SNOW stock based on different percentage scenarios at expiration. The last (purple) row shows the corresponding percentage return for our debit spread trade. We can see that regardless of whether SNOW increases in price, remains flat, or even loses 5% from our entry, our option spread trade will produce a 31.6% return. These are types of odds I like to have in my favor when trading options. 1) The Option Sale Provides Downside Protection The sale of a call option results in cash being credited to your brokerage account. This reduces the cost basis of the option purchase and provides downside protection in the event the price of the underlying stock declines. 2) Risk is Reduced In the SNOW trade just presented, the sale of the 200-strike call reduced the risk of the 190-strike purchase from $3,020 to just $760 per contract. 3) Allows Us to Maintain Positions During Volatile Markets The downside protection provided by the call option sale helps us maintain our spread trade during heightened volatility. Naked option purchases may force us to sell early in order to prevent large losses. 4) Spreads Can Be Profitable If Stock Goes Up or Down Option spreads can be profitable even if the underlying stock decreases or remains flat, providing us with an entirely new dimension of money-making opportunities. Remember that the call option sold through this strategy profits as the price of the underlying stock declines, providing us with a cushion during market pullbacks. Option spreads are a safe way to use the leverage inherent in options. Your risk is limited to the price paid for the spread. The call option spread strategy is an excellent way to take advantage of the bullish move in SNOW as the stock looks primed to continue its outperformance.

Bull of the Day: Howmet Aerospace (HWM)
Howmet Aerospace is a global provider of advanced engineering solutions for the aerospace and transportation industries. Formerly known as Arconic, Howmet Aerospace was founded in 1888 and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This stock is displaying relative strength this year and has been making a series of all-time highs. The broader aerospace sector held up extremely well through the market volatility earlier in the year. Increasing volume has attracted investor attention as buying pressure accumulates in this top-ranked stock. A Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Howmet is part of the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry group, which currently ranks in the top 27% out of more than 250 industries. Because this group is ranked in the top half of all Zacks Ranked Industries, we expect it to outperform the market over the next 3 to 6 months, just as it has so far this year: Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Take note of the favorable characteristics for this group below. Stocks in this industry are relatively undervalued based on traditional valuation metrics. They are also projected to experience above-average earnings growth, which signifies a powerful combination that should lead to higher prices in the future. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Historical research studies suggest that approximately half of a stock's price appreciation is due to its industry grouping. In fact, the top 50% of Zacks Ranked Industries outperforms the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. It's no secret that investing in stocks that are part of leading industry groups can give us a leg up relative to the market. By focusing on leading stocks within the top industries, we can dramatically improve our stock-picking success. The strongest driver of Howmet's business at the moment is the commercial aerospace market. The strength in air travel continues with wide-body aircraft demand also picking up, supporting resilient OEM spending. Pickup in air travel is generally positive for the company because the increased usage of aircraft spurs spending on parts that Howmet provides and also encourages airlines to buy more aircraft, which further boosts its sales. Howmet HWM offers airfoils and seamless rolled rings primarily for aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines. The company also produces aerospace fastening systems as well as commercial transportation, industrial, and other fasteners. Revenues from the commercial aerospace market increased 9% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025, constituting 52% of its business. The sustained strength was attributed to new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with reduced carbon emissions and increased spare demand for engines. An expanding defense budget also remains a key catalyst for Howmet. The defense side of the industry has been witnessing positive momentum, cushioned by steady government support. The company has been experiencing robust orders for engine spares for the F-35 program and new builds for legacy fighters. In the first quarter, revenues from the defense aerospace market increased 19% from the prior-year period, accounting for 17% of the company's revenues. Howmet has built an incredible track record in terms of surpassing earnings estimates; the company hasn't missed the EPS mark since 2020. Just a few short weeks ago, Howmet delivered first-quarter earnings of 86 cents per share, which marked an 11.6% surprise over the 77-cent consensus estimate. Total revenues of $1.94 billion also exceeded projections and jumped 6% from the year-ago quarter. The aerospace and defense leader delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 8.8%. Consistently beating earnings estimates is a recipe for success. Following the strong performance, Howmet raised its 2025 adjusted EPS outlook, reflecting confidence in its operational execution and exposure to flourishing aerospace markets. The company increased its full-year EPS guidance to a range of $3.36-$3.44 compared with $3.13-$3.21 expected earlier. Howmet continues to witness rising earnings estimates as the company benefits from momentum in the commercial aerospace market. Analysts covering HWM increased their full-year EPS estimates by 6.13% in the past 60 days. The 2025 Zacks Consensus Estimate now stands at $3.46/share, translating to a healthy 28.6% growth rate versus last year. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research This market leader has seen its stock advance more than 50% already this year, all while the general market witnessed a drastic correction. Only stocks that are in extremely powerful uptrends are able to experience this type of outperformance. This is the kind of stock we want to include in our portfolio – one that is trending well and receiving positive earnings estimate revisions. Image Source: StockCharts Notice how both the 50-day (blue line) and 200-day (red line) moving averages are sloping up. The stock has been making a series of higher highs throughout the past year. With both strong fundamental and technical indicators, HWM stock is poised to continue its outperformance. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. As we know, Howmet has recently witnessed positive revisions. As long as this trend remains intact (and Howmet continues to deliver earnings beats), the stock will likely continue its bullish run. Howmet's measures to reward shareholders are encouraging. In the first quarter of 2025, the company paid dividends of $42 million and repurchased shares worth $125 million. Its sound liquidity position is an added positive. Backed by a leading industry group and history of earnings beats, it's not difficult to see why HWM stock is a compelling investment. Robust fundamentals combined with an appealing technical trend certainly justify adding shares to the mix. Recent positive earnings estimate revisions should also serve to create a 'floor' in terms of any sudden or unexpected downside moves. If you haven't already done so, be sure to put HWM on your shortlist. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research? Today, you can download 7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 Days.

Buy 5 Aerospace Defense Stocks for Second-Half 2025 on Growing Demand
The aerospace defense industry has maintained its northbound journey amid supply-chain woes. Increased defense budget by the U.S. administration and impressive year-over-year projections for global air passenger numbers are likely to boost this space in the second half of 2025. At this stage, it will be prudent to invest in aerospace defense industry stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank for the rest of 2025. Five such stocks are: GE Aerospace GE, Howmet Aerospace Inc. HWM, Leidos Holdings Inc. LDOS, Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. HII and Vertical Aerospace Ltd. EVTL. Each of our picks carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. While the commercial aerospace market overcame the woes of the pandemic and has been growing steadily over the past couple of quarters, the defense side of the industry stood its ground amid the COVID-19 crisis, cushioned by steady government support. To this end, it is worth noting that in May 2025, a White House report was published stating that President Donald Trump has proposed a 13% increase in the nation's defense spending to $1.01 trillion for fiscal year 2026. Such improved funding provisions set the stage for industry players focused on the defense business to win more contracts and expand their production volume, which is likely to boost their top Zacks-defined Aerospace – Defense Industry is currently in the top 16% of the Zacks Industry Rank. Since it is ranked in the top half of the Zacks Ranked Industries, we expect the aerospace defense industry to outperform the market over the next three to six months. The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks in the past three months. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research GE Aerospace has been witnessing strength in its businesses, driven by robust demand for commercial engines, propulsion and additive technologies. Rising U.S. & international defense budgets, geopolitical tensions, positive airline & airframer dynamics and robust demand for commercial air travel augur well for the company. GE's portfolio-reshaping actions are likely to unlock values for its shareholders. GE raised its dividend by 28.6% to 36 cents per share in February 2025. For 2025, GE expects organic revenues to grow in the low-double-digit range from the year-ago level. GE Aerospace has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of -6.8% and 19.6%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 1.3% over the last 30 days. Howmet Aerospace is benefiting from solid momentum in the commercial aerospace market, driven by robust build rates and wide-body aircraft recovery. HWM is also witnessing strength in its defense aerospace business on the back of rising U.S. & international defense budgets. Robust orders for engine spares for the F-35 program, spares and new builds for legacy fighters augur well for HWM. Given the strength in most of its served markets, HWM has built a sound liquidity position that supports its shareholder-friendly policies. Howmet Aerospace has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 8.5% and 28.6%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 0.6% over the last seven days. Leidos Holdings ended the first quarter of 2025 on a solid note, with both its earnings and revenues having surpassed their respective Zacks Consensus Estimates. LDOS' defense solutions continue to witness increased contract wins from the Pentagon and other U.S. allies. These contract wins enhanced LDOS' bookings, which, in turn, led to a solid backlog of $46.30 billion at the end of first-quarter 2025. The Trump administration's defense budget proposal includes significant investment for the development and deployment of a Golden Dome for America, a next-generation missile defense shield that would protect the United States from missile threats coming from any adversary. LDOS believes that it is very well-positioned to contribute meaningfully to the Golden Dome mission, which will require next-generation sensor and missile defense capabilities, with its latest air and missile defense capability playing a vital role in the defense of Guam. Leidos Holdings has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 2.7% and 4.3%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 1.3% over the last 30 days. Huntington Ingalls Industries is a designer of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of the two primary U.S. shipbuilders. HII has more than 100 years of experience in building ships, aircraft carriers and submarines. Thanks to the strong demand that Huntington Ingalls' products enjoy, its order value and hence the backlog count remain solid. Looking ahead, HII expects to launch DDG 129 Jeremiah Denton and complete sea trials for DDG 1000 in 2025. HII also aims to deliver DDG 128 Ted Stevens and LHA 8 Bougainville in 2026 and lay the keel for CVN 81 Doris Miller. As far as its submarine contracts are concerned, Huntington Ingalls christened SSN 800 Arkansas in the fourth quarter. HII plans to deliver SSN 798 and float off SSN 800, Arkansas, in 2025. Such a solid pipeline of products bolsters HII's revenue-generation prospects. Huntington Ingalls Industries has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 3.3% and 2.5%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 3.3% over the last 30 days. Vertical Aerospace is an aerospace and technology company that is engaged in designing, manufacturing, and selling zero-operating-emission electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for use in the advanced air mobility market in the United Kingdom. EVTL is involved in developing its flagship VX4, an eVTOL aircraft. EVTL is pioneering zero-emission aviation. Vertical Aerospace has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 1% and more than 100%, respectively, for the current year.
