Stock is at an interesting price level. If stock price moves up and IV increases could help add premium value to the call options.
Risks : Short Expiration - Theta Risk. Earnings Risks.
I would recommend a vertical spread to keep theta at bay especially after earnings when IV will drop reducing the price of the options if you expect to hold this past earning.
Important Note: This is a short duration contract with earnings risk. Please trade responsibly. Please let me know in the comment if you find this useful.
