Earnings are set to hit the tape in a tight window on Wednesday and the options market is already sketching out how much volatility traders are willing to pay for into the prints, according to Benzinga Pro.
This is a Benzinga-selected watchlist that runs from relatively muted setups to double-digit implied swings. The marquee name on the list is Eli Lilly & Co., but the biggest implied move is saved for the final section as the countdown builds toward rank 1.
7. The Walt Disney Company | Mkt Cap: $174B | Implied Move: 5.50%
Benzinga Pro data show options are pricing in a 5.50% move around the report. With Walt Disney valued at $174 billion, that implies about $9.6 billion of market value at stake as investors weigh the mix of entertainment, sports and experiences.
That blend is exactly why this print can matter: Walt Disney’s results tend to be read through multiple lenses at once, from franchise-driven content performance to the cadence of experiences. The stock carries a Buy consensus rating, and the stock is trading well below the 180-day average analyst price forecast. In July, Citigroup, UBS, and Barclays cut their price forecasts.
