2200% gain in 2 days

Dear TheoTrader,

Astera Labs Inc (ALAB) shares exploded 36.8% after releasing earnings on Wednesday.

The Santa Clara semiconductor company crushed expectations with 150% year-over-year revenue growth, sending analysts scrambling to upgrade their price targets.

Needham hiked their target from $100 to $170. Citi bumped theirs to $160.

But here's the thing...

Before the earnings announcement, someone came in and bought over 2,000 contracts of ALAB $145 calls expiring in just a few days.

They paid around $8 per contract when the stock was trading around $135.

That's a $1.6 million bet.

For this trade to work, they needed ALAB to close above $153 on Friday just to break even.

ALAB closed at $179.85.

That $1.6 million bet was worth $35.97 million by Friday's close.

A 2,200% return in two days.

How could you have known about this institutional footprint before it happened?
