AMEDStock and Options Trade Setup — Amedisys, Inc.
Nasdaq · Home Health & Hospice Care Services · Low-liquidity options · Mid cap · ~$3.1B
Amedisys operates in a structurally growing market — an ageing U.S. population and payer-driven preference for lower-cost home-based care create a secular tailwind that is immune to economic cycles. CMS reimbursement rates for home health have stabilized after a period of headwinds, and the operational leverage from scaling existing care centers is significant. The company is investing in technology-enabled care models that improve nurse-to-patient ratios and reduce costly hospital readmissions — a value proposition that resonates with both payers and health systems. Low beta and defensive revenue make this a stable setup rather than a momentum play; the options thesis centers on mean-reversion after any healthcare policy-driven dip, or steady appreciation as reimbursement clarity improves.

AMED Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is AMED a good options trade today?+
Amedisys, Inc. (AMED) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 56/100, ranking it top 56% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a developing setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is AMED's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
AMED's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 61%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past AMED trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for AMED?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the AMED setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh AMED's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If AMED drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for AMED?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to AMED: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is AMED outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. AMED currently scores 56.
How does AMED compare to other Home Health & Hospice Care Services setups?+
AMED's sector rank and percentile against other Home Health & Hospice Care Services tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Home Health & Hospice Care Services Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
