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. 71 contracts (avg 110 vol/day, 71 traded recently)

PKG averages only 110 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 01-15 call last traded $25.90 on 08/11 (now $14.40/$18.00) — try a limit near $16.20. Also watch the $260.00 01-15 call last traded $15.70 on 08/19 (now $9.80/$14.00) — try a limit near $11.90; the $270.00 09-18 call last traded $2.90 on 08/14 (now $0.00/$2.20) — try a limit near $1.10. Most tradeable put: the $260.00 09-18 put last traded $10.63 on 08/13 (now $13.90/$16.60) — try a limit near $13.90.
