Twilio Inc (NYSE:TWLO) is seeing an options surge today, after the tech company furthered its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to power intelligence driven customer engagement. So far, 50,000 calls and 11,000 puts have been exchanged, which is already five times the average daily options volume. The weekly 8/11 75-strike call is the most popular, with new positions being bought to open there. At last glance, TWLO was up 3.4% to trade at $63.18.

Boston Beer Company Inc (NYSE:SAM) is toward the top of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today, last seen at a five-month peak of $377.99 after posting a second-quarter revenue beat. SAM has been struggling to break out of a trend of lower lows in recent months, but now is eyeing its best daily percentage jump since October 2022.

Sweetgreen Inc (NYSE:SG) is one of the worst performers on the NYSE this afternoon, sliding 10% at $13.70 after posting a net loss of 24 cents per share for the second quarter. Despite its mild optimism for 2024, the equity remains down 26% for the past nine months and is struggling to remain above the key 320-moving average.
