About this time last year, in early 2025, Boyd Group Services Inc. shares rose 4.3% to around $178, fueled by the acquisition of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center. The key question was whether the stock could maintain this momentum, especially since earnings estimates were unchanged for a month. This uncertainty came after a solid 9.5% gain over the previous four weeks.
Now, on February 9, 2026, the stock has confirmed that initial gain, trading near $225 after consistently exceeding earnings expectations throughout 2025. The integration of Joe Hudson’s has been successful, with reports showing a 5% cut in operational costs in the Southeast. This success coincides with the average age of vehicles on U.S. roads reaching a record 13.1 years, which creates a steady demand for collision services.
With the next earnings report expected in late February, implied volatility is increasing, making options pricier but also indicating a potential major price change. Traders who believe the positive trend will continue may consider buying call options, betting on another strong report fueled by realized synergies and high demand. The current estimate for quarterly earnings is $0.85 per share, which indicates a robust year-over-year increase.
Given the significant rise in stock price over the last year, expectations are now much higher, increasing the risk of a sharp drop if the results fall short. For those seeking to protect their investments, buying put options can offer downside protection around earnings announcements. A collar strategy, which involves selling an out-of-the-money call to fund the purchase of a protective put, can also be a smart way to manage risk.
