The company is going to report earnings on Thursday and the options market is implying a move of 6.25% in either direction. Over the last eight quarters, the stock moved 8.1% on the event.

Most of the activity on Wednesday was concentrated in the March $280 calls. Traders were paying around $3 for those, which sets the breakeven at $283 or around 6.5% higher at the March expiration.
