It's been widely reported over the last year that ULA parent companies Boeing and Lockheed Martin are considering offloading the rocket business. That's despite the successful debut of ULA's Vulcan rocket in early January, which I assumed would galvanize a sale. In the meantime, I've been curious to understand how ULA's sale is likely to play out. Boeing and Lockheed Martin are, and have been, looking to sell the rocket business for some time.

There are several opportunities over the next month for investors to cash in on a long-standing trend by buying options, according to Goldman Sachs. "We find that call buying around analyst days has been a systematically profitable option buying strategy. The reason the strategy works is that there appears to be an upward bias to share price movement after analyst days that is not priced in to the options market, Goldman said. "Company managements take the opportunity of analyst days to review recent performance, layout strategic priorities, provide/update forward guidance, reveal long-term targets etc. Despite the significance of analyst days, we also observe that the options market tends to underprice volatility around analyst days," the note said.
