Unusual options activity surged Friday for three S&P 500 components: CrowdStrike (CRWD), Mosaic (MOS), and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX), with volumes exceeding 50% of their monthly averages. CrowdStrike saw 30,610 contracts (3.1M shares), led by a $410 put expiring March 20, 2026, signaling bearish bets on near-term price declines. Mosaic’s 64,293 contracts (6.4M shares) featured heavy $35 call activity for January 2027, suggesting bullish long-term expectations despite recent volatility. Vertex Pharmaceuticals traded 7,328 contracts (732K shares), with a $435 put expiring March 27, 2026, indicating hedging or bearish sentiment ahead of key dates. All three stocks’ options volumes far exceeded typical daily trading, reflecting heightened investor positioning on future price movements.
