Have You Seen This Pharma Stock?

Dear Reader,

Yesterday, we looked at a Daily Price Chart of Marsh and McLennan Co., noting that MMC stock has been making a series of new 52-Week Highs recently.

For today's Trade of the Day e-letter we will be looking at a monthly chart for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock symbol: REGN.

Before breaking down REGN's monthly chart let's first review what products and services the company offers.

Regeneron is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of treatments targeting serious medical conditions. The company's portfolio boasts nine marketed drugs – Eylea, Dupixent, Praluent, Kevzara, Libtayo, Evkeeza, Inmazeb Arcalyst and Zaltrap.

Now, let's begin to break down the monthly chart for REGN stock.

Below is a 10-Month Simple Moving Average chart for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Buy REGN Stock

As the chart shows, in August, the REGN 1-Month Price, crossed above the 10-Month simple moving average (SMA).

This crossover indicated the buying pressure for REGN stock exceeded the selling pressure. For this kind of crossover to occur, a stock has to be in a strong bullish uptrend.

Now, as you can see, the 1-Month Price is still above the 10-Month SMA. That means the bullish trend is still in play! 

As long as the 1-Month price remains above the 10-Month SMA, the stock is more likely to keep trading at new highs and should be purchased.

Our initial price target for REGN is 1115.00 per share.

Profit if REGN is Up, Down, or Flat

Now, since REGN's Monthly Price is currently trading above the 10-Month SMA and will likely rally from here, let's use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for a REGN call option spread.

The Call Option Spread Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option spread based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a 7.5% increase to a 7.5% decrease in REGN stock at option expiration.

The goal of this example is to demonstrate the 'built in' profit potential for option spreads and the ability of spreads to profit if the underlying stock is up, down or flat at option expiration. Out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don't list the option strike prices used in the profit/loss calculation.

The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for REGN on 7/31/2024 before commissions.

Built in Profit Potential

For this option spread, the calculator analysis below reveals the cost of the spread is $300 (circled). The maximum risk for an option spread is the cost of the spread.

The analysis reveals that if REGN stock is flat or up at all at expiration the spread will realize a 66.7% return (circled). 

And if REGN stock decreases 7.5% at option expiration, the option spread would make a 66.7% return (circled). 

Due to option pricing characteristics, this option spread has a 'built in' 66.7% profit potential when the trade was identified*.

Option spread trades can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to a directional option trade if you can profit when the underlying stock/ETF is up, down or flat.

A higher percentage of winning trades can give you the discipline needed to become a successful trader.

Trade High Priced Stocks for $350 With Less Risk

One of the big advantages to trading option spreads is that spreads allow you to trade high price stocks like Amazon, Google, or Netflix for as little as $350. With an option spread you can control 100 shares of Netflix for $350. If you were to purchase 100 shares of Netflix at current prices it would cost about $63,000. With the stock purchase you are risking $63,000 but with a Netflix option spread that costs $350 your maximum risk is $350 so your dollar risk is lower with option spreads compared to stock purchases.
