Options Volatility Signals Key Earnings Moves for Oracle, Chewy, and Others

Market participants are bracing for significant price swings in equities today as Oracle (ORCL), Chewy (CHWY), and Vera Bradley (VRA) headline a packed earnings calendar. Options-derived implied moves suggest particularly dramatic action for small-cap names, with VRA pricing a ±26.38% earnings move—a potential boon for volatility traders.

The bifurcated schedule shows pre-market reporters facing steeper projected swings than their afternoon counterparts. Cognyte Software (CGNT) and SailPoint (SAIL) join VRA in the high-volatility cohort with double-digit implied moves, while Oracle''s 7.75% expected fluctuation reflects its mature market position.

TipRanks'' analytics tools highlight how options activity frequently foreshadows post-earnings price action. The platform''s new KPI Data suite aims to decode these signals for retail investors, complementing its Smart Value Newsletter that surfaces resilient equities.
