Entertainment Stock for Options Bulls to Monitor

Live Nation Entertainment Inc (NYSE:LYV) stock is pulling back to its February closing highs and July peak, from where we observed an August breakout. Shares are testing the confluence of its 100-day simple and exponential moving averages – an area from where we’ve seen notable rebounds. This region has also acted as a pivot point in 2025 for bullish and bearish trends.

 

The security charged higher on Friday, nearing the peak put open interest (OI) at the 150-strike. Meanwhile, LYV’s max pain could roll higher in the next three months to the 175-strike. Short interest is near year-to-date highs and makes up 12.2% of the equity’s available float, with a lot of shorts still underwater.
 
The stock also sports attractively priced premiums, per its Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 30% that sits in the low 15th percentile of its annual range. This suggests options traders are pricing in low volatility expectations.

Our recommended December call has a leverage ratio of 7.8 and will double on a 14.3% rise in the underlying equity.
