June is historically a bad performing month for Wynn Resorts stock
Casino stock Wynn Resorts Inc (NASDAQ:WYNN) is trading 1.9% lower at $88.83 at last check, starting off June on a sour note. The shares are eyeing their fourth-straight loss, extending a pullback from their May 15 five-month highs, and testing support at the $90 level today. Plus, if past is precedent, WYNN could be due for even more losses.
Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White compiled a list of the 25 worst S&P 500 Index (SPX) stocks to own in June, going back a decade, and Wynn Resorts stock is in the top 10. WYNN has averaged a loss of 3.3% for the month, finishing lower 70% of the time over the last 10 years.
Options traders are leaning bullish, leaving ample room for headwinds, should this upbeat sentiment begin to unwind. WYNN's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 4.18 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranks higher than 75% of readings from the past year.
Options are looking affordable as well, per the stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 33%, which ranks in the 11th percentile of its annual range. This means options traders are pricing in low volatility expectations. WYNN has also tended to outperform these expectations, per its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) of 99 out of 100.
