Carvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA) shares traded higher on Wednesday after JMP Securities raised its price target on the stock.

Carvana shares are up more than 250% in just the last three months. The surge in shares was sparked by the company's better-than-expected financial results at the beginning of May. 

On CNBC’s "Options Action," Brian Stutland of Equity Armor Investments said Carvana traded at 2.2x its average daily call volume on Wednesday.
