The Hot Options Report: 10-05-2026

Despite a light options day, Nvidia's record high and widespread same-day call expirations show traders repeatedly missed narrow intraday profit windows.

• NVDA tops the tape: Nvidia hit a new all-time high of $240.10, closing at $238.90 (+$4.95) on 4.15M contracts; the hot 240 calls (490K traded, avg 11¢) expired worthless.
• Mega-cap calls mostly expired worthless: Meta ($741.90, +$13.82), Micron ($1,063.96), Microsoft ($525.18, +$7.65) and Apple ($332.89) all saw their busiest same-day calls finish out of the money after brief intraday profit windows.
