AMD Earnings Bull Put Spread has a High Probability of Success

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.OQ) faces an earnings report after the close on May 5; elevated implied volatility (67.33% vs a 12-month low of 38.67%) makes options selling attractive. The article recommends a bullish income trade — a May 15 bull put spread (sell $290 put / buy $280 put) — which would net roughly $1.25 ($125) per contract, cap downside risk at $875, and yield about a 14.29% return on risk to expiration if AMD stays above $290. Coverage and analyst sentiment skew bullish (Barchart technical 100% Buy; RS >80%), but the piece notes risks from sharp post-earnings drops and early assignment. Overall market implication: elevated IV around earnings supports premium-selling strategies for bullish traders while underscoring event-driven downside risk.
