Nvidia is in a deep correction and super cheap. How to trade a bounce with options
Investors have been using the largest company in the world — Nvidia — as a cash machine this month. Nearly 20% off its all-time high, the AI leader has dropped from a $5 trillion market cap to a $4 trillion valuation in just a few quarters. I want to use options to possibly establish a long position as I anticipate the Strait of Hormuz reopening and equity markets recovering short-term. As of late March, the equity market has officially flipped the script on its longtime love affair with Big Tech. The “Magnificent Seven” have seen significant profit-taking as the Iranian conflict has caused tremendous pain in the broader global equity markets shaving trillions of dollars in S & P 500 value. Nvidia is currently trading at its lowest forward P/E ratio in the last five years. With a forward P/E of 20, I like to look at NVDA almost as a value proposition. Chip demand and data center buildouts are still major themes in 2026 and beyond. I believe there will be a resolution with Iran but, as soon as the Strait opens up, I expect a 3%-5% broad market rally … regime change or not. The trade Sold NVDA 4/24/26 $160 put for $4.00 Bought NVDA 4/24/26 $175 call for $5.25 This risk reversal will cost an investor $1.25 or $125 This spread was executed when NVDA was just trading under $170 DISCLOSURES: Kilburg is long NVDA and long this spread.
