Lamb Weston shares could move 8.7% when the company reports earnings on Oct. 6 before the market opens, according to Bloomberg options data.
The options market has correctly predicted the magnitude of the stock’s move in five of the past eight earnings reports. In three instances, the actual price change exceeded the options-implied move, highlighting the potential for significant volatility around the upcoming results.
In the latest report on July 24, options implied a 9.7% move, while the stock moved 5.7%. On April 1, an implied move of 10.3% preceded a 7.3% decline.
The largest discrepancy came on Dec. 19, when shares plunged 26.1% versus an implied move of 9.0%. On July 23, 2025, the stock gained 14.9% against a 9.9% implied move, while on April 3, 2025, it moved 10.9% compared with an 11.9% implied move.
Other recent reports also showed wide gaps between implied and actual moves.
