Trade of the Week: MFIN

Trade of the Week

Medallion Financial (MFIN) is a credit services company that made its name through taxi medallion financing in New York City. It has since diversified its businesses as ride sharing has become mainstream, and the stock has done well so far in 2023. However, a large trader or fund bought thousands of March 5 puts last week. This could be a hedge or it could be a speculative bet that the stock is headed lower.
