Leap Wireless International Inc New (LEAP) $17.20 +1.78%
Leap Wireless (LEAP) shares are up 31 cents to $17.21 and have now risen an impressive 20.7 percent so far this week. After falling 16 percent on earnings news last Friday, the stock benefited from a Deutsche Bank research note Tuesday. The analysts raised their price target to $16 from $14 and also raised rival MetroPCS (PCS) to Buy from Hold. In the options today, a noteworthy spread traded after an investor apparently paid a 46-cent net debit to buy the May – Jun 19 call spread, 10100X on PHLX. Looks like a position adjustment and closing out a losing position in May 19s opened on April 14 and 15 when shares were around $18.
