Do Options Traders Know Something About Entegris Stock We Don't?
Investors in Entegris, Inc. ENTG need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jan. 16, 2026 $55.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today. Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Entegris shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Entegris is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) in the Electronics - Manufacturing Machinery industry that ranks in the Bottom 6% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while two analysts have revised their estimates downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 72 cents per share to 64 cents in that period. Given the way analysts feel about Entegris right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there's a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. Check out the simple yet high-powered approach that Zacks Executive VP Kevin Matras has used to close recent double and triple-digit winners. In addition to impressive profit potential, these trades can actually reduce your risk. Click to see the trades now >> Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
