Options market data shows increased open interest in call contracts tied to church finance software stocks. Traders interpret this as a forward-looking bullish indicator aligned with upcoming earnings season momentum. "After months of addressing complicated technical problems and software testing, we have resumed erasures," Rob Blanchard, a spokesman for Gov. Ned Lamont , said Friday. "Connecticut's groundbreaking Clean Slate initiative will lead to new opportunities for housing, education and employment for thousands of Connecticut residents who are eligible for erasure." And there’s tax matters to consider, including keeping the church’s 501(c)(3) status. Investor sentiment surveys indicate high confidence in church finance software providers. With revenue streams tied to annual church budgets, analysts believe earnings yields could climb by 0.5% over the next fiscal half-year.
