Genius Group Ltd (NYSE:GNS) is soaring today, up 49.4% at $5.90 at last glance -- trading as high as $7.27 earlier -- after news that the company is spinning off one of its subsidiaries, Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd. Worth $37 million, the resort name was acquired by Genius Group in June 2020, and all shareholders of GNS will receive an equal percentage of shares in Entrepreneur Resorts.

GNS is seeing a surge in options volume today. So far, 15,000 calls and 5,232 puts have been exchanged, which is 3.1 times the usual daily volume already. The February 8 and 7 calls are the most popular, with new positions being opened at both.
