Roughly 80% of the action has occurred on the call side, with buy-to-open activity detected at the weekly 5/26 11-strike call, BBRY stock's most active option. Shares of the smartphone maker were last seen up 3.1% at $10.70, after earlier hitting a two-year peak of $10.81. Since mid-April, BlackBerry stock has jumped 40%.

After being halted earlier, PBYI stock was most recently seen trading up 55.4% at $58.75 -- at levels not seen since last October.
