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. 85 contracts (avg 153 vol/day, 84 traded recently)

PKG averages only 153 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 $16.90 on 07/24 (now $11.40/$14.00) — try a limit near $12.70. Also watch the $260.00 08-21 call last traded $4.90 on 07/24 (now $1.80/$4.00) — try a limit near $2.90. Most tradeable put: the $250.00 09-18 put last traded $11.80 on 07/24 (now $11.20/$13.20) — try a limit near $11.80.
