Fashion retailer Nordstrom sells brand name clothing, shoes, beauty, home goods, etc in 94 large department stores as well as 240 Nordstrom Rack outlets. It also makes ~50% sales online, via their official websites as well as flash-sales from HauteLook and curator services through Trunk Club.
Technically minded investors may see some opportunity in the chart (bottoming, consolidation into a falling wedge) along with optimism in the general stock market with the Fed's lower rate hike this week. The RSI has also been consistently chopping in the almost-oversold region, possibly indicating upward momentum. However, Nordstrom's weak holiday sales earnings may also cause some hesitation -- this opportunity is not without risks.
With this bullish options strategy, you can capture up to 21% (22% annualized) of the potential gain with downside protection of 34% -- start to lose only if JWN falls below $12.43 as of 1/19/24
Trade Legs:
Buy 1 $17.5 call
Sell 1 $22.5 call
Sell 2 $12.5 puts
All expiring 1/19/24
Capital requirement for this strategy: $2,486
