Traders who are focused on the near-term can trade options in order to profit from movements in AZZ stock’s price.

I am looking at the contracts with the 4/14 expiration date.

The $50 calls look appealing, and while there is open interest on the $55 calls, I’m not certain that they can reach that strike price by expiration.

The $50 puts also look interesting, but both expiration prices have low levels of open interest.

Tying It All Together

All-in-all, there looks to be many opportunities for traders & investors to profit from AZZ stock.

Investors will like their valuation metrics & dividend, but may want to take a closer look into their balance sheet.

Traders will like their momentum, but be disappointed by their levels of open interest.

AZZ stock is worth taking a closer look into, regardless of your trading style.
