Fluor issued a quarterly earnings report this morning that was significantly above the consensus forecast. The company also identified a sequential improvement in quarterly contract bookings. Investors will likely focus on the conservative guidance for the full year and the prospect for further contract awards given the recent firmness of crude oil pricing. So, with the stock moving higher this morning, the implied volatility increasing to around 54, and only $.08 time-value remaining in the current May09 $40 option, the Covered Calls Advisor decided to roll-up-and-out to the Jun09 $45 covered calls position.
The overall performance results(including commissions) for the FLR transactions through the Jun09 expiration would be as follows:
