Here’s the breakdown: these “baskets” are groups of stocks—like Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), Big Lots, Abercrombie & Fitch, and a few others—that were the underlying assets for equity derivative trades executed mostly in May 2024, with typical expirations set for January 2026.

This kind of setup is often used to hedge, speculate, or gain exposure to a whole segment (in this case, U.S. specialty retail), so if you saw BBBY in the basket, it was being included alongside peers for broader trades, not being singled out on its own.
