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. 90 contracts (avg 248 vol/day, 90 traded recently)

LAZ averages only 248 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 12-18 call last traded $5.20 on 08/04 (now $3.50/$5.20) — try a limit near $4.35. Also watch the $45.00 03-19 call last traded $4.19 on 07/30 (now $4.10/$6.60) — try a limit near $4.19; the $45.00 09-18 call last traded $2.31 on 08/07 (now $1.25/$2.05) — try a limit near $1.65. Most tradeable put: the $40.00 09-18 put last traded $0.90 on 08/07 (now $0.45/$0.85) — try a limit near $0.65.
