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 $250.00 08-21 call last traded $8.20 on 08/06 (now $3.40/$6.00) — try a limit near $4.70. Also watch the $260.00 08-21 call last traded $4.15 on 08/04 (now $0.10/$1.40) — try a limit near $0.75. Most tradeable put: the $230.00 09-18 put last traded $2.95 on 08/06 (now $1.10/$2.25) — try a limit near $1.68.
