CareFusion rose 2.41 percent to $22.55 yesterday and needs to climb 12 percent by expiration for the calls to turn a profit. The medical equipment company is up 13 percent since being spun off from Cardinal Health on Sept. 1. Today will be its first earnings report as an independent company.

Cardinal , which also reports this morning, saw moderately bullish activity in the purchase of a block of in-the-money calls.

Options volume in CareFusion was 10 times greater than average yesterday, with calls outnumbering puts by 31 to 1. It was 85 percent above average in Cardinal.
