The heaviest single strike is 180 calls, with 1,499 contracts open, below the current price.
Settling at 180 would leave the smallest total payout to contract holders: a description of where the open contracts sit, not a forecast of where the stock goes.
Mid is halfway between the bid and the ask. IV is solved from the mid, falling back to Cboe’s figure where it can’t be, and the greeks are Black-Scholes at it, per share: theta is a calendar day’s decay and vega the change for a point of vol. Discounted at 4.08% (Treasuries, 32-day term) with a 1.95% dividend yield. Cboe delayed quotes as of 2026-10-19 01:30:25 UTC, 15 minutes behind the market.
A wide market: 7.10 bid, 9.50 ask, 29% of the mid. Paying the ask would start you $120 down before the stock moves. Only 6 contracts are open at this strike.
The 27 Oct report lands inside this contract’s life. Its vol, 56% now, is modeled to fall to 54% the session after, as the premium options charge for the report comes out of the price.

Black-Scholes at 56.4% implied vol, solved from the 8.30 mid, discounted at 4.08% (Treasuries, 11-day term) with a 1.95% dividend yield. Priced as European exercise, so an American put, most of all deep in the money, can be worth a little more than shown. Chance of profit is at expiry, for a stock moving the way the option is priced.
