Ahead of Amazon’s scheduled third-quarter results, options traders priced in a potential share move of about $20, or roughly 8%, for the period after the release. The estimate indicated the possible size of the move, not whether shares would rise or fall.

Amazon’s results had been scheduled for after the U.S. market close on Oct. 29, with a conference call set for 5 p.m. ET that day. Amazon shares gained 0.6% on Monday, Oct. 26.

The options pricing adds a market view to earlier attention on AWS growth and Amazon’s AI spending.
