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. 93 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 08-21 call last traded $19.15 on 08/05 (now $12.50/$15.00) — try a limit near $13.75. Also watch the $250.00 08-21 call last traded $8.20 on 08/06 (now $3.60/$7.00) — try a limit near $5.30. Most tradeable put: the $240.00 09-18 put last traded $8.18 on 07/31 (now $1.90/$4.90) — try a limit near $3.40.
