5 Stocks Moving On Friday's After-Hours: From Barracuda To TerraForm


27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


Shares of Barracuda Networks Inc (NYSE: CUDA) fell roughly 34 percent, responding to the announcement of lukewarm earnings and poor guidance on Tuesday afternoon. On Thursday, they recuperated 1.99 percent; on Friday, an extra 12.71 percent. Now, in after-hours trading, the stock continues to rise, more than 1 percent, as investors realize the selloff was somewhat overdone.

Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: MFLX) seems to be the biggest gainer in the afternoon so far, up about 2.3 percent since the bell rang. No particular news seems to be driving the surge, which looks more like a continuation of the 1.65 percent rise the stock experienced during the regular trading session.

Breitburn Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ:BBEPP) is also on the rise. The stock gained 6.95 percent during the day, and an extra 1.6 percent in after-hours trading on Friday, after the company announced a Thursday “a cash distribution of $0.04166 per common unit for the first month attributable to the third quarter of 2015, payable on October 16” (BusinessWire).

On the other hand, small-cap Esperion Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: ESPR) is the biggest loser so far, down about 5.6 percent since the market closed. Once again, no particular news seem to have triggered the decline, which looks more like a correction of the 12.51 percent increase in the stock price seen during the day.

Similar is the case for TerraForm Power Inc (NASDAQ: TERP), which rose 12.66 percent during Friday trading, but is down more than 4.6 percent in after-hours, after Bloomberg published an article titled “Investors Are Asking Tough Questions About 'Yieldcos,'” which questions TerraForm’s collective funding arrangements with Sunedison Inc (NYSE: SUNE).
