Shares of Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) were last seen up 1.7% at $71.26, extending their rebound, after a post-earnings selloff earlier this month. Despite topping earnings estimates, the streaming giant's revenue missed Wall Street estimates, sending the shares to 52-week lows. NFLX has reclaimed some ground since then, but the shares remain below their pre-earnings levels. Year to date, the equity is down 24%.

Meanwhile, the stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) stands at 90 out of 100, indicating NFLX has consistently exceeded options traders' volatility expectations over the past 12 months.
