CADE Stock and Options Trade Setup — Cadence Bank
NYSE · S&P 400 · Regional Banking — Southeast U.S. · Low liquidity options · Mid cap · ~$4.1B
Cadence Bank operates in some of the fastest-growing population corridors in the U.S. — Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas — where business formation, commercial real estate activity, and household formation rates exceed national averages. The BancorpSouth merger created cost synergies that are still flowing through the income statement, supporting margin expansion even as the rate environment normalizes. Cadence has a conservative credit culture and a commercial loan book tilted toward owner-operated businesses and agricultural credits — segments with historically low charge-off rates. The stock trades at a meaningful discount to tangible book value creating an asymmetric setup: if credit quality holds, the discount narrows; if credit deteriorates, the downside is already partially priced in. Dividend yield near 3% provides income floor for patient holders.

CADE Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is CADE a good options trade today?+
Cadence Bank (CADE) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 57/100, ranking it top 49% 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 bullish 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 CADE's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
CADE's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 56%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past CADE 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 CADE?+
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 CADE setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh CADE'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 CADE 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 CADE?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to CADE: (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 CADE outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. CADE currently scores 57.
How does CADE compare to other Regional Banking — Southeast U.S. setups?+
CADE's sector rank and percentile against other Regional Banking — Southeast U.S. tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Regional Banking — Southeast U.S. 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.
