Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 112 contracts (avg 289 vol/day, 112 traded recently)

CNP averages only 289 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $45.00 12-17 call last traded $5.00 on 07/07 (now $3.50/$4.50) — try a limit near $4.00. Also watch the $40.00 12-18 call last traded $5.53 on 07/02 (now $3.60/$5.10) — try a limit near $4.35; the $46.00 08-21 call last traded $0.42 on 07/10 (now $0.15/$0.30) — try a limit near $0.22. Most tradeable put: the $42.00 11-20 put last traded $1.45 on 07/10 (now $1.45/$2.15) — try a limit near $1.45.
