New Options Trade: High Upfront Income, International Electronic Commerce

Shares of this Brazilian electronic commerce juggernaut looked attractively inexpensive a few months ago, but have since fallen significantly further. Its woes stem from a weakening currency, interchange fee pressures, covid and now a recent FBI raid of its major POS terminal providers (in relation to cyberattacks). However, the business continue to strengthen and the market opportunity remains huge (lots of room for continuing growth). Contrarians may consider purchasing shares outright, however in this report we share an attractive income-generating options trade. The trade not only puts attractive upfront cash in your pocket (that you get to keep no matter what), but it also gives you a shot at picking up shares of this highly attractive business at an even lower price (if the shares get put to you before the contract expires in less than 1 month. We believe this is an attractive trade to place today (and potentially over the next few trading sessions) as long as the price of the underlying shares doesn’t move too much before then.
