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 $260.00 09-18 call last traded $4.17 on 08/21 (now $0.45/$1.35) — try a limit near $0.90. Most tradeable put: the $230.00 10-16 put last traded $5.03 on 08/06 (now $4.00/$5.40) — try a limit near $4.70.
