You could buy 100 shares of $NVDA right now for $21,900.
Or you could buy the $200 call LEAP expiring January 2028 for $5,900. Same directional exposure. ~73% less capital. Over 525 days of runway.
The trade:
Strike: $200
Expiration: January 21, 2028
Premium: ~$59.00 per contract
Breakeven: $259
If $NVDA hits $275, this LEAP returns ~27%
If $NVDA hits $325, this LEAP returns ~112%
If $NVDA hits $400, this LEAP returns ~239%
For comparison, 100 shares at $400 would return ~83%. The LEAP nearly triples the return on about a quarter of the capital.
Why I like the setup:
- Just posted a record $81.6 billion revenue quarter
- Blackwell demand is still outpacing supply
- Every major AI buildout on the planet runs through their chips - the toll booth of the entire trade
- The strike is already in the money: $19 of the $59 premium is intrinsic value
- 525+ days of runway covers six more earnings reports
The max you can lose on a LEAP is the entire premium you paid. In this case, that's $5,900 per contract. LEAPs are leveraged and can lose value quickly if the stock drops or stays flat. Only size this so you're comfortable losing all of it.
Note: LEAPs are one tool inside a broader portfolio. Owning shares is always the primary use of capital. This is a selective add-on for high-conviction moments when conditions align.
