January 02, 2026 — 08:44 am EST Written by Zacks Equity Research for Zacks-> Investors in BCP Investment Corp. BCIC need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jan. 16, 2026 $2.5 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 BCP Investment shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, BCP Investment is a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) in the Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry that ranks in the Bottom 33% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, one analyst has increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none dropped the estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 49 cents per share to 52 cents in that period.Given the way analysts feel about BCP Investment right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing.
