Unusually high put options volume today in Uber Technologies (UBER) could augur well for UBER stock. The strike price is over 18% below today's price, or "out-of-the-money." It could be initiated by UBER short-put sellers looking for yield and a potentially lower buy-in point.
UBER is up about 3% in midday trading at $67.85, after closing at a 6-month low of $65.92 on Friday. However, it's well off a recent closing peak of $79.17 on May 6.
