Looking At Rivian Automotive's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Know Labs Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNW#NASDAQ">KNW</a>) shares soared Friday afternoon after the company announced it will be acquired by Goldeneye 1995 LLC, an entity led by fintech investor and former Ripple Chief Risk Officer Greg Kidd.

What To Know: Goldeneye will acquire a controlling stake in Know Labs through a combination of 1,000 Bitcoin and cash to retire debt and fund operations, valuing shares at $0.335. The deal, expected to close in third-quarter 2025, will install Kidd as CEO and chairman.

A major component of the strategy is the use of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a treasury asset, giving Know Labs significant exposure to digital assets. Management will use a multiple of net asset value metric to evaluate market valuation against Bitcoin holdings, which are expected to make up 82% of the company's market cap, assuming BTC is priced at $105,000.
"This Bitcoin treasury strategy is a forward-looking move to drive sustainable growth," said Kidd.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy KNW Stock</h1>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share — or fractional share — of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, Know Labs is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, KNW has a 52-week high of $4.20 and a 52-week low of $0.33.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $326.76, after a 0.16% spike. Over the past month, Automatic Data Processing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADP#NASDAQ">ADP</a>) stock increased by 6.29%, and in the past year, by 32.49%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749240070_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Automatic Data Processing P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 52.32 in the Professional Services industry, Automatic Data Processing Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 33.36. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749240070_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

In any other circumstances, Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) ordinarily wouldn't trigger intense intrigue. While Cisco's digital communications business — which includes a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity products and services — is incredibly relevant, it's not the most headline-friendly endeavor. That changed earlier this week and it may positively affect the forward trajectory of CSCO stock.
On Tuesday, Victoria's Secret (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSCO#NYSE">VSCO</a>) reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/45756325/why-victorias-secrets-breach-is-a-wake-up-call-for-cybersecurity-etf-investors">cybersecurity breach</a>, which forced the company to shut its website down for three days in late May. At the time, the fashion industry didn't raise much fuss about the matter but for stakeholders, the breach presents a major concern. It's the latest, high-profile example of an increasing wave of corporate cyberattacks that are dragging sales, reputations and even entire business models.
On the other hand, the somewhat cynical — but ultimately pragmatic — response is to consider cybersecurity-focused investments such as CSCO stock. Fundamentally, companies in the space stand to benefit from an expanding total addressable market. Per Statista, the U.S. government has <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/675399/us-government-spending-cyber-security/">allocated</a> almost $13 billion of budgetary spending on cybersecurity, a 10% bump from last fiscal year. It's a clear sign that cybersecurity is a necessity, not a luxury.
The catalyst of need harkens back to an argument that Ritholtz Wealth Management's Josh Brown made earlier this year. IN the first few months of 2025, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/03/44501515/cybersecurity-stocks-to-outperform-its-the-one-line-item-that-no-company-in-the-world-is-cutting-josh-brown">cybersecurity sector was outperforming</a> the broader tech index. Brown gave a blunt assessment for the superior returns.
"This is the one line item that no company in the world is cutting. I don't give a sh-t how bad the recession gets. This is out-of-business risk," Brown said Tuesday on an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZomfI76veg&amp;tblci=GiBHQ5jGSz2tTIA8W0d9W_RJMHgkmUPdKPzylaI48Ac4RiCN1Vcomc3V5NGfyeiJATDviEo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">episode</a>&nbsp;of The Compound's "What Are Your Thoughts?"
Essentially, the Victoria's Secret breach reminded investors why cybersecurity matters and CSCO stock is tagging along for the ride.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Statistical Argument Shines A Bright Spotlight On CSCO Stock</h2>
Although the underlying narrative of CSCO stock implies forward progress, storylines and even price action are not the most reliable predictors of equity performance. That's because the traditional approaches of fundamental and technical analysis — though they have their utility in certain contexts — suffer from the non-stationarity problem.
Essentially, metrics such as earnings per share or share price tend to drift or fluctuate, especially with long passages of time or shifts in sentiment regimes. In addition, administrative factors such as dilution and buybacks can distort the meaning of the metrics that are being used for comparison. At the end of the day, it's difficult to make apples-to-apples comparisons over time and context.
On the flipside, market breadth — which basically boils down to studying patterns of accumulation and distribution — is a discrete state or concept. Market breadth is a representation of demand and demand is binary. It's either happening or it's not. Binary events can be easily categorized and quantified, therefore facilitating projectability.
In statistical language, market breadth features stationarity: the core statistical property of market demand does not evolve over time. What does evolve are the patterns of demand — and these patterns can be analyzed to better determine probabilistic frameworks.
For CSCO stock, the security is currently printing a "6-4-U" sequence: six up weeks, four down weeks, with a net positive trajectory across the 10-week period. Over the past decade, in 56.76% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 1.53%.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06145953/CSCO-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-941768" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06145953/CSCO-stock-10wk-forecast-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06145953/CSCO-stock-10wk-forecast-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06145953/CSCO-stock-10wk-forecast-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06145953/CSCO-stock-10wk-forecast.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Assuming that this week closes at $66, CSCO is on track to reach $67 in short order, perhaps in a week or two. If the bulls maintain control of the market, it's not inconceivable that the optimists will attempt to push the price toward the $67 level.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Setting Up A Tempting Call Spread On Cisco</h2>
For traders willing to roll the dice on the above statistical framework, the 66/67 bull call spread expiring June 27 is particularly tempting. This transaction involves buying the $66 call and simultaneously selling the $67 call, for a net debit paid of $52. Should CSCO stock rise through the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is $48, a payout of over 92%.
Notably, the high payout suggests that market makers believe the upswing in CSCO is a fluke, which isn't an unreasonable assessment. As a baseline, the chance that a long position in the security will be profitable over any given week is 53.12%. That's an upward bias but a modest one. What makes the 6-4-U sequence appealing is the implied sentiment shift. Here, the bulls receive nearly 4 percentage points of free odds in their favor.
To be clear, the chance of downside is still high at over 43%. Nevertheless, in blackjack terms, the deck is warm, which in this case incentivizes a bullish debit-based strategy.
