An options trader wagered $40 million that Meta Platforms, Inc.’s 158% rally this year has plenty of room to run.

The spread trade — involving more than 26,000 contracts of call options allowing the buyer to pick up shares at $320 each by Jan. 17, 2025 — was countered by selling about 52,000 of $600 calls expiring in December of that year.
