NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shares of China-based Vimicro International Corp
Brokerage firm Needham raised its target price on the technology stock. Options volume on Vimicro is up to nearly 42 times the normal level, with 2,551 calls and 37 puts traded, according to data from options analytics firm Trade Alert.
The April $5 strike calls, which expire at the close on April 17, are the most active, according to Trade Alert, with 2,020 contracts traded, almost all of which were new positions. The cost of those options is up to $1.80 from $1 on Friday, as the stock's gains put the $5 strike in the money.
