Expected move The move, either way, the option market prices in through the next scheduled report: the at-the-money straddle for the first expiry that contains it, over the price. It includes the days around the report, so it slightly overstates the report alone. Methodology ±7.3% $115 – $133 by Nov 20, 2026
Usual move The median, over the company's last four reports, of how far the stock moved either way from the close before the filing to the close of the session after it. Methodology ±6.4% last 4: -9.1% · -8.1% · -2.9% · +4.7%
Expected against usual The move the options price through this report over the move the last four reports delivered. Above 1 the event is priced bigger than the company's own record; below 1, smaller. A price, not a forecast: it says what protection through the report costs, not which way the stock will go. Methodology Bigger than usual 1.1× the usual move

What options price now

Expected 1-month range The at-the-money straddle for the expiry nearest a month out, as a share of the price: the move, either way, the option market is pricing by then. The range is the price plus and minus that move; the stock ends inside it a little more often than not. Methodology
$114 – $133 ±7.5% by Nov 27, 2026
Swings expected vs recent The daily swings the options are priced for (implied volatility) against the swings the stock actually had over the last 20 sessions (realised volatility). Bigger means options charge for more movement than the stock has been delivering; smaller, less. On a contract row, that contract's own implied volatility over the stock's realised. Methodology
Bigger 33.4% priced · 20.5% recent
Next month vs later At-the-money implied volatility for 8-45 day expiries over 46-90 day ones: whether options price the coming month as choppier or calmer than the two after it. Ahead of a report it usually reads choppier, and the extra comes out once the report is out. Methodology
Choppier
Crash protection What options that pay off in a fall cost against options that pay off in a rise (the 25-delta skew), compared with this company's own normal - the median of its stored nightly readings, once there are 20 - and with five sessions ago. Protection costs a little more than upside on most shares. More than usual means readers of the chain are paying up to insure against a drop; it does not say which way the stock will go. Methodology
past week: costs less
Positioning
Premium traded
$39.3M calls $28.1M · puts $11.1M · latest session
Puts against calls, by premium Money spent on puts divided by money spent on calls. Measured in dollars rather than contracts on purpose: counting contracts treats a hundred cheap lottery tickets as more meaningful than one large position, which is backwards. Methodology
0.40× +0.26 over the week
Open interest added The change over five sessions in option positions left open overnight, calls and puts. A rise means positions were added. It cannot say whether they were bought or sold, so more calls is not a vote for a rise: a call is as often sold against shares already held. Methodology
calls -40.51k · puts -27.59k past week

Most traded contracts 2
Contract Next day: opened, closed or mixed A large option trade on its own is ambiguous: it may have opened a position, closed one, or been one leg of a spread. Open interest is published overnight, so the next morning settles it. Opened: open interest rose by a good share of the volume traded, so positions were added. Closed: it fell, so positions were taken off. Mixed: it barely moved, as when one side opens while the other closes. A dash: the next morning's count is not in yet. None of the three says whether the contracts were bought or sold. Methodology Volume against open interest The day's contracts traded, divided by the positions already standing. Above 1 the day's trading exceeded every position in existence, which cannot happen without something new — though only tomorrow's open interest proves it opened rather than closed. Methodology Bid-ask spread The gap between the bid and the ask as a share of the midpoint: what a round trip costs before the position has moved at all. Methodology Priced vs rest of chain The contract's implied volatility less the at-the-money reading for the same company, in points: how this strike is priced against the rest of the chain. Methodology Move to break even How far the stock must move by expiry for a buyer at the midpoint to get the premium back: strike plus premium for a call, strike less premium for a put.
