STX LONG EARNING 7/28 SEE TRADE IDEASeagate (STX) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2020. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

I bought the $49.5 Call expiring on 8/6 for 2.30. I got lucky the price turned red I put in my bid and the the bid/ask price were the same.
