NBIS

Nebius Group Unusual Options Activity

WIIM

Apollo shares are trading higher amid overall market strength following the Fed's rate decision.

<p>As a rule of thumb, whenever <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44308014/gold-hits-record-highs-as-trade-war-fears-fuel-safe-haven-demand-mining-stocks-soar">gold prices skyrocket</a>, the underlying economic implications suggest that enterprises such as <strong>Steel Dynamics Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) may struggle. </p>
<p>Soaring bullion demand indicates a shift away from cyclical and industrial plays toward safe-haven assets. Gold&#8217;s not generating earnings or paying dividends represents an indictment against risk-on behavior. Nevertheless, current unusual circumstances warrant a closer—and curiously optimistic—look at STLD stock.</p>
<p>To be sure, President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s administration has ignited fears of a protracted and ugly trade war. While the tariffs that undergird the president's economic policies theoretically help domestic industries, it must be noted that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40219850/rising-us-china-trade-tension-triggers-companies-to-prepone-orders-intensifying-supply-chain-woes-pe">global supply chains</a> are exactly that — global. Retaliatory measures can hurt the U.S. economy and that's not something policymakers can easily ignore, given the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37623381/americans-struggle-as-food-becomes-third-biggest-expense-for-household-budgets-see-how-your-budg">challenges American households face</a>.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, domestic steel producers cheered President Trump's 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports implemented last week. Despite a swift retaliatory move by the European Union, the domestic sector has conspicuously swung higher. In the trailing five sessions, the <strong>VanEck Steel ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLX#NYSE">SLX</a>) has gained nearly 5%.</p>
<p>That said, the dispute over the core industrial commodity is complex. Steel producers have argued that the Trump tariffs close loopholes, enabling a more favorable environment for domestic investments and production. However, due to higher costs, downstream demand could suffer.</p>
<p>Still, money talks — and the smart money is signaling optimistic winds ahead.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unusual Options Activity Shines the Spotlight on STLD Stock</h2>
<p>Among the key indicators that retail investors should monitor is Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/unusual-options-activity">options scanner</a>, which highlights unusual activity in the derivatives market. Essentially, options represent the playground of sophisticated investors. Therefore, transaction context or volume that exceeds normal or expected parameters may represent leading signals.</p>
<p>Unlike technical indicators such as moving averages, smart money transactions suggest what could happen next — not what did happen. To be fair, professional and institutional traders can get their forecasts wrong. However, these players have access to the best resources and are putting serious money on the table. Therefore, unusual options activity represents <em>weighted</em> opinions.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/unusual-options-activity"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1017" height="285" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19145141/STLD-unusual-options-activity.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-832282" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19145141/STLD-unusual-options-activity.jpg 1017w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19145141/STLD-unusual-options-activity-300x84.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19145141/STLD-unusual-options-activity-768x215.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1017px) 100vw, 1017px" /></a></figure></p>
<p>During the Tuesday session, STLD stock represented a key highlight in Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/03/44384499/looking-at-steel-dynamicss-recent-unusual-options-activity">unusual options screener</a>, with most of the major transactions carrying bullish sentiment. Arguably, most investors will focus on the acquisition of call options. Based on the strike price and the premium paid, it's reasonable to presume that STLD could poke its head above $139 by mid-May.</p>
<p>What's perhaps most intriguing, though, are the sold $140 puts, which expire on April 17. At the time of the transaction, the bid (or the premium received for the written/sold puts) was $14.60. Subtracting this figure from the strike price results in a breakeven price of $125.40. Stated differently, the put writer will take paper losses below this point (from an intrinsic value perspective).</p>
<p>Should STLD stock succumb to downside pressure, the put writer will naturally incur assignment risk. This setup strongly implies that the trader is comfortable owning Steel Dynamics stock at the perceived discounted price of $125.40 (the strike price minus the premium received). That's great intelligence for those who want to trade STLD straight up.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19144925/STLD-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-832281" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19144925/STLD-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19144925/STLD-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19144925/STLD-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19144925/STLD-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Image by author</em></figcaption></figure></p>
<p>Finally, investors should recognize that STLD stock benefits from an upward bias. Using data since January 2019, a long position held for any given eight-week period has a 59.31% chance of rising. Under dynamic conditions of modest momentum — with STLD currently up 1.5% in the past five sessions — the probabilities don't materially change.</p>
<p>In fact, the empirical data suggests that the odds of long-side transactions improve.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Following the Smart Money to Profits</h2>
<p>At this juncture, investors have two choices: heed the political warnings and avoid the steel industry altogether or follow the smart money flowing into STLD stock. Frankly, either approach has its set of justifications. Still, the adventurous type may want to consider the latter pathway.</p>
<p>Assuming that the bullish thesis pans out, a realistic upside target over the next four-and-a-half weeks is around $138. This forecast is based on median positive returns under baseline and dynamic conditions. Further, a market-realistic Monte Carlo simulation reveals a price projection of almost $136.</p>
<p>With the above market intelligence in mind, investors could buy the 130/135 bull call spread expiring April 17. This transaction involves buying the 130 call (at a time-of-writing ask of $400) and simultaneously selling the $135 call (at a bid of $210). The proceeds of the short call partially offset the debit paid for the long call, leading to a net cash outlay of $190, the most that can be lost in the trade.</p>
<p>To be clear, both calls are out the money (OTM); hence, the "cheap" net debit paid. Further, the trade prioritizes the statistical argument undergirding STLD stock and is even more aggressive than the smart money. However, the maximum payout of over 163% is extremely tempting.</p>
<p>For those who want to follow the institutional players more closely, the 125/130 bull spread expiring May 16 is available. However, the payout falls quite significantly to 85.2%. At the same time, it's arguably one of the most high-confidence trades one could make in the domestic steel market.</p>

<h3>Alexandria Real Estate P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. </p>
<p>Alexandria Real Estate has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>134.11</strong> of the Helath Care REITs industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>

<p>In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. </p>

Fed Chair Powell Says We'd Look Carefully At Allowing MBS To Roll Off Even After Stop Shrinking Total Balance Sheet; TGA Flows Got Us Thinking About This; Slowing Balance Sheet Reduction Was Provoked By TGA, But It Fits In Nicely With Principles And Plans; Pretty Strong Support For Balance Sheet Decision

Fed Chair Powell Says If The Soft Data Affects The Hard Data We Will Know It Very Quickly, But We Don't See That Yet; I Don't See A Reason To Think We Are Looking At A Replay Of The 70s; Inflation Is Still Running In The 2s, With A Pickup From Tariffs; Fed Staff Has A Placeholder Forecast On Effect Of Tariffs; On Balance Sheet We Looked At Pausing, And At Slowing; People Came To Be Strongly In Favor Of Slowing Balance Sheet Shrinkage

<p>Billionaire <strong>Elon Musk </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">paid $44 billion </a>to acquire social media platform <strong>Twitter</strong>, which he later rebranded to X.</p>
<p>The valuation of the platform <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42271676/fidelity-raises-valuation-of-elon-musks-x-but-its-still-worth-72-less-than-his-buyout-price">has declined sharply</a> since the 2022 purchase with <strong>Fidelity </strong>marking the value down by 72% as of December.</p>
<p>A new report shows a secondary deal for the company has pushed its valuation back to where Musk took the company private.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: X is once again worth $44 billion, a valuation that comes with Musk sharing improving financials for the company and advertisers like <strong>Apple </strong>and <strong>Amazon.com</strong> returning to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43373012/elon-musk-bringing-advertisers-back-to-x-amazon-boosts-spending-apple-considers-return"> spending on the platform.</a></p>
<p>A secondary deal completed earlier this month valued the company at $44 billion, according to a new Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d4616dec-c4c7-417f-8549-134710bbc5b1">report</a>.</p>
<p>The report said the social media company could also be raising up to $2 billion in a primary round, looking to pay off some of the company's debt.</p>
<p>Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-19/elon-musk-s-x-raises-close-to-1-billion-in-fresh-equity-funding">reported </a>Wednesday that X raised around $1 billion in new equity from investors including Musk, valuing the company at close to what the billionaire originally paid.<strong> Darsana Capital Partners,</strong> who bought some of X's debt in recent months, participated in the equity round, according to the report.</p>
<p>While X's revenue has dropped since Musk took the company private, a recent report showed an improvement in recent months to revenue and showed that adjusted EBITDA was also improving.</p>
<p>As Benzinga recently reported, large banks that helped finance the Twitter buyout have been stuck holding their debt in the company longer than they typically do on large buyout deals like Musk's. A quick declining value led to bankers seeing lower valuation for their debt and reasons to hold on until things improved.</p>
<p>Lenders sold off their debt recently with values of 90 to 95 cents on the dollar and in some cases at original value, which comes on top of interest payments the banks have already received.</p>
<p><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44386585/twitter-blue-bird-logo-from-hq-up-for-auction-heres-how-much-social-media-history-could-set-you-back">Twitter Blue Bird Logo From HQ Up For Auction: Here&#8217;s How Much Social Media History Could Set You Back</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Why It's Important: </strong>One of the items helping X's valuation is likely the company's stake in artificial intelligence start-up <strong>xAI</strong>. Musk offered a 25% stake in xAI to investors who helped back the original Twitter purchase.</p>
<p>X is also nearing the launch of X Money, the company's push into digital wallets and peer-to-peer payments as part of Musk's plan to have the company part of an "everything app." <strong>Visa Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) was named as the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43277294/visa-stock-moves-higher-as-company-becomes-first-partner-of-musks-xmoney-whats-going-on"> company's first partner </a>for X Money back in January.</p>
<p>In February, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44022369/exclusive-if-x-went-public-today-would-it-be-worth-75-billion-or-less-than-20-billion-poll-says-this-amount">Benzinga asked readers </a>what value they thought was appropriate for X.</p>
<p>&#8220;What do you believe is a fair valuation for X (formerly Twitter)?&#8221; Benzinga asked.</p>
<p>The results were:</p>
<ul>
<li>Less than $20 Billion: 45%</li>
<li>$41-$75 Billion: 24%</li>
<li>Over $75 Billion: 16%</li>
<li>$21-$40 Billion: 15%</li>
</ul>
<p>Nearly half of the voters in the poll said X should be valued at less than $20 billion, which would represent a valuation of less than half of what Musk paid for the company back in 2022.</p>
<p>The next highest vote-getter was the $41 to $75 billion range at 24%. Over $75 billion ranked third at 16%. This means that 40% of voters think X should be valued at $41 billion or more.</p>
<p>While that&#8217;s good news, the majority (60%) see X valuation fairly valued at $40 billion or less today.</p>
<p>Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/22/10/29334819/elon-musk-sees-long-term-potential-in-twitter-despite-obviously-overpaying-for-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previously shared optimism&nbsp;</a>for X and its future valuation.</p>
<p>"I see a clear, but difficult, path to a &lt;$250B valuation," he said.</p>
<p>Benzinga readers don&#8217;t see X&#8217;s valuation getting there yet, but perhaps Musk will be proven right someday.</p>
<p>The new valuation for X could boost Musk&#8217;s wealth, which has taken a hit in 2025. Musk is ranked as the world's richest person by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg </a>with a wealth of $303 billion. Musk has lost $130 billion in wealth in 2025 with shares of Tesla Inc down 38% year-to-date in 2025.</p>
