Earnings are set to hit the tape in a tight window on Tuesday, and the options market is already sketching out how much volatility traders expect once results and guidance land, according to Benzinga Pro.
This is a Benzinga-selected watchlist that leans heavily toward healthcare and tech, with a travel bellwether and an industrial name mixed in. The marquee name on this list is Space Exploration Technologies Corp. or SpaceX.
9. Pfizer Inc. | Mkt Cap: $143B | Implied Move: 3.19%
Benzinga Pro data show options are pricing in a 3.19% move, the smallest implied swing in this nine-stock lineup. Even so, with Pfizer sized at $143 billion, that still translates to $4.57 billion of market value at stake around the print.
Pfizer remains one of the world’s largest drugmakers, with prescription medicines and vaccines driving the bulk of sales. The stock carries a Hold consensus rating, and the stock is trading below the 180-day average analyst price forecast; in July, BMO Capital and Guggenheim cut their price forecasts.
