Traders focused on the short-term can use options to take advantage of Kimco Realty stock’s price movement in either direction.

I am looking at the contracts with the 3/18 expiration date.

The $22.50 & $25 call options look appealing, with the latter having more open interest, despite being out-of-the-money.

The $25 puts are the highest price level with liquidity, as there is no open interest at the $30 or $35 strike prices.

Kimco Realty Corp. stock is worth taking a closer look into regardless of your trading style.

Investors will like their valuation metrics & dividend yield, but would be wise to take a closer look into their balance sheet.

Traders will like their momentum in a volatile market, but may be disappointed by the liquidity of their options contracts for the nearest expiration date.

Overall, it is worth digging deeper into KIM stock.
