Investors in Duke Energy Corporation DUK need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jan. 17, 2025 $50.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Duke Energy shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Duke Energy is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Utility - Electric Power industry that ranks in the Bottom 49% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, three analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from $1.61 per share to $1.69 in that period.Given the way analysts feel about Duke Energy right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing.
