Vipshop Holdings (VIPS) Draws Options Attention, Is The Stock Still Cheap?

Options traders are zeroing in on Vipshop Holdings (NYSE:VIPS) after a specific January 2027 call contract posted some of the highest implied volatility in the market for the stock.

That options activity is landing just as Vipshop Holdings has seen the share price climb 5.60% in the last day and 10.16% over the past week, partly reversing a year to date share price decline of 22.25% and a 1 year total shareholder return that is down 22.37%. The 5 year total shareholder return of 30.34% shows that longer term investors have still come out ahead.

Further expansion and maturation of Shan Shan Outlets, following the increase to 22 outlet malls and double digit GMV and same store sales growth targets for the second half of 2026, can add incremental offline revenue streams and support operating profit.
