The Hot Options Report: 08-28-2026

Options sellers take the wheel on a wild Friday as the final trading day of the week delivers surprisingly heavy options volume for the dog days of summer.

On this episode of The Hot Options Report, we break down the most active names across the options market, including NVIDIA (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), SpaceX, Micron (MU), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), Strategy (MSTR) and Intel (INTC).

NVIDIA once again takes the options volume crown, but the post-earnings celebration doesn't last long as the stock reverses sharply after an early rally. We also examine a recurring theme across the tape: short-dated options that moved into the money during the session only to finish worthless at expiration.
