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. 94 contracts (avg 106 vol/day, 93 traded recently)

PKG averages only 106 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 $240.00 01-15 call last traded $19.95 on 07/24 (now $28.20/$30.40) — try a limit near $28.20. Also watch the $250.00 08-21 call last traded $8.20 on 08/06 (now $6.60/$8.70) — try a limit near $7.65; the $270.00 09-18 call last traded $4.20 on 08/07 (now $2.50/$4.50) — try a limit near $3.50. Most tradeable put: the $250.00 09-18 put last traded $13.15 on 07/31 (now $5.00/$8.00) — try a limit near $6.50.
