Quantchabot has detected a promising Synthetic Long Stock trade opportunity for BP PRUDHOE BAY (BPT) for the 21-Jun-2019 expiration period. You can analyze the opportunity in depth over at the Quantcha Options Search Engine.

BPT was recently trading at $27.69 and has an implied volatility of 25.65% for this period. Based on an analysis of the options available for BPT expiring on 21-Jun-2019, there is a 68.27% likelihood that the underlying will close within the analyzed range of $19.99-$39.59 at expiration. In this scenario, the average linear return for the trade would be 54.64%.

Upside potential: This synthetic long position offers the same potential benefits and liabilities as a long stock position, but at a discount due to the significant premium at-the-money puts are trading at over calls. In this case, the put position is opened at a strike of $30.00, which is already $2.31 in-the-money. However, its sale more than offsets this moneyness and the cost of the long call that the trade results in a net credit of of $5.15 per share. The final position can be considered as having a discount of $2.84 per share over the underlying price of $27.69 for a 10.26% total.

Downside risk: This discount is generally a sign of the stock facing considerable short pressure, and may indicate that the stock has become hard to borrow. However, if you have a long view of the underlying over this period, it could be a good opportunity to benefit from the upside at a major discount.
