As of today, December 24, 2025, BellRing Brands (BRBR) is trading around $32 per share. This recent gain comes despite falling analyst estimates and a weak Zacks Rank of #5 (Strong Sell). This contrast between price movement and analyst sentiment highlights a potential opportunity. The key event approaching is the earnings report, where profits are expected to fall sharply by 44.83%. Traders may want to position for a significant downward trend. Buying put options that expire in late January or February 2026 could be a straightforward way to take advantage of a likely negative market reaction to the earnings results. The broader economic landscape in late 2025 suggests a cautious approach to consumer staple brands with high valuations. Recent reports from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that while overall inflation has slowed, food prices remain high compared to pre-2023 levels, making consumers budget-conscious. This situation may challenge companies like BellRing, which could struggle to maintain its high P/E ratio if consumers opt for more affordable choices. Historically, BRBR’s stock has shown volatility after earnings reports. Reviewing its performance in 2023 and 2024, the stock typically moves about 9% up or down during the week following earnings announcements. This established volatility suggests that options strategies could be particularly effective in the coming weeks. The options market is already bracing for a significant price movement, as indicated by high implied volatility on contracts set to expire post-report. This heightened volatility, close to a 52-week peak, suggests that a major price shift is anticipated. Therefore, strategies that benefit from price swings, regardless of direction, could also be viable if there are uncertainties about a bearish outcome. With a high PEG ratio of 3.94, which is nearly double the industry average, the stock price seems misaligned with expected earnings growth. A bear put spread could be a smart strategy to express a negative outlook while managing costs and limiting risk. This involves buying a put option at a higher strike price and selling one at a lower strike price, which helps to lower the initial premium paid.
