Klaviyo, Inc. Series A

Investors in Klaviyo Inc (Symbol: KVYO) saw new options begin trading this week, for the December 19th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the KVYO options chain for the new December 19th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $22.50 strike price has a current bid of 75 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $22.50, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $21.75 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of KVYO, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $23.73/share today.
Because the $22.50 strike represents an approximate 5% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 64%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.33% return on the cash commitment, or 19.30% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Klaviyo Inc, and highlighting in green where the $22.50 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $25.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.95. If an investor was to purchase shares of KVYO stock at the current price level of $23.73/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $25.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 13.57% if the stock gets called away at the December 19th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if KVYO shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Klaviyo Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing KVYO's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $25.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $25.00 strike represents an approximate 5% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 50%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 8.22% boost of extra return to the investor, or 47.58% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 71%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 69%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $23.73) to be 56%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Rising corporate earnings expectations are a bullish backdrop for stocks. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, more than 22% of companies in the S&P 500 provided guidance for their Q3 earnings results that are expected to beat analysts’ expectations, the highest in a year. Also, S&P companies are expected to post 6.9% earnings growth in Q3, up from 6.7% at the end of May.
The markets are pricing in a 92% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on Oct 28-29.
Overseas stock markets on Friday settled mixed. The Euro Stoxx 50 rose to a 4-week high and closed up by +0.03%. China’s Shanghai Composite closed down -0.30%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock 225 fell from a new record high and posted a 1-week low and closed down -0.57%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) on Friday closed down by -7.5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield rose by +2.7 bp to 4.131%. T-note prices today extended Thursday’s losses and fell to a 2-week low, and the 10-year T-note yield rose to a 2-week high of 4.143%. T-notes were under pressure Friday due to strength in stocks, which has curbed safe-haven demand for government debt securities. Also, negative carryover from Friday’s slide in European government bonds to 2-week lows is weighing on T-notes. Dovish comments on Friday from Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari lifted T-notes off their lows when he said he has penciled in two additional Fed rate cuts this year.
Concerns about Fed independence are negatively impacting T-note prices due to President Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor Cook and Stephen Miran’s intention to hold a Fed Governor position while remaining technically in his White House role on the Council of Economic Advisors.

Swaps are discounting a 2% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on October 30.

Klaviyo Prices Secondary Offering Of 6.5 Mln Shares; No Proceeds To Company

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA Small-Cap ETF (Symbol: ESML), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $49.84 per unit.
With ESML trading at a recent price near $41.83 per unit, that means that analysts see 19.16% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of ESML's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are IDEAYA Biosciences Inc (Symbol: IDYA), Klaviyo Inc (Symbol: KVYO), and CRISPR Therapeutics AG (Symbol: CRSP). Although IDYA has traded at a recent price of $22.84/share, the average analyst target is 102.34% higher at $46.21/share. Similarly, KVYO has 48.99% upside from the recent share price of $30.07 if the average analyst target price of $44.80/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting CRSP to reach a target price of $80.74/share, which is 45.71% above the recent price of $55.41. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of IDYA, KVYO, and CRSP:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Sum Up The Parts: GUSA Could Be Worth $60

Wednesday, February 19, 2025
Market indexes fought back and closed in the green for today’s trading session — all but the small-cap Russell 2000, which also improved but didn’t quite make it into positive territory. The S&P 500 set its second-straight record closing high, at 6144, but ultimately today’s gains were modest.
The Dow closed up +71 points, or +0.16% on the day. The S&P 500 grew +14 points, +0.24%. The Nasdaq added almost +15 points, +0.075%, while the Russell 2000 was -7.9 points for the session, -0.34%. Bond yields once again appear range-bound, with the 10-year around +4.53% and the 2-year +4.27%.
Fed Minutes Offer No Surprises
As we’d expected, the minutes of the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting from last month was a firm attitude that inflation metrics will have to once again start coming down before new rate cuts will be considered. The unanimous decision to keep the Fed funds rate between a range of +4.25-4.50%. The FOMC had cut three times in a row between September and December of last year, taking the rate down 100 basis points (bps) in the process. The next Fed meeting concludes a month from today.
Q4 Earnings Roundup: CVNA, TOST, KVYO
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)-rated Carvana CVNA far outpaced expectations on both top and bottom lines in its Q4 report out after today’s closing bell, with earnings more than doubling estimates to 56 cents per share from 24 cents in the Zacks consensus (and in a completely new orbit from the -$1.00 loss per share in the year-ago quarter). Revenues came in at $3.55 billion, well beyond the $3.33 billion anticipated.
This all said, it appears we have a “sell the news” situation: shares are trading -10% in the after-market, shaving off a good portion of the +328% gains the stock has made year to date, and +440% over the past year. Carvana revenues actually came down quarter over quarter, but had adjusted EBITDA margin growth of +10.1%.

A day after a report that point-of-sale service provider Toast TOST won a 500-restaurant deal with Huddle House and Perkins parent Ascent Hospitality, Q4 earnings came in slightly mixed this afternoon: earnings of $0.05 per share missed estimates by a penny, on quarterly sales of $1.34 billion, which outperformed the $1.31 billion in the Zacks consensus. Shares had initially zoomed up +10% on the news, but have now come back down near today’s closing level.
Marketing automation platform Klaviyo KVYO is one company whose shares went up on its Q4 report after today’s close and stayed there: +7% as of now. This adds to the nearly +14% the stock has gained year to date. Earnings beat by a penny to 7 cents per share, and sales in the quarter strongly outpaced expectations, to $270 million from $257.3 million projected. Big upward moves in revenue guidance for both next quarter and the full fiscal year are helping keep interest in the shares very healthy.
