Around this time last year, in early 2025, we saw a notable 4.3% jump in Boyd Group Services Inc. shares to about $178, driven by the acquisition of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center. The key question then was whether the stock could build on that strength, given that earnings estimates had remained unchanged for a month. That period of uncertainty followed a solid 9.5% gain over the preceding four weeks.
Fast forward to today, February 9, 2026, the stock has validated that earlier move, now trading near $225 after consistently beating earnings expectations throughout 2025. The integration of Joe Hudson’s has been successful, with recent reports showing a 5% reduction in operational costs in the Southeast region. This operational success is happening as the average age of vehicles on U.S. roads has climbed to a record 13.1 years, creating a sustained demand for collision services.
With the next earnings report expected in late February, implied volatility is beginning to rise, making options more expensive but also reflecting anticipation of a significant price move. Traders who believe the positive trend will continue could consider buying call options, betting on another strong report driven by realized synergies and continued high demand. The current consensus estimate is for quarterly earnings of $0.85 per share, representing a strong year-over-year increase.
Given the stock’s substantial run-up over the past twelve months, expectations are now considerably higher, creating risk of a sharp drop if results disappoint. For those looking to hedge their positions, buying put options can provide downside protection through the earnings announcement. Alternatively, a collar strategy, involving the sale of an out-of-the-money call to finance the purchase of a protective put, could be an effective way to limit risk.
