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. 84 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 09-18 call last traded $6.90 on 07/23 (now $12.50/$15.50) — try a limit near $12.50. Also watch the $260.00 09-18 call last traded $2.78 on 07/22 (now $3.70/$6.40) — try a limit near $3.70. Most tradeable put: the $210.00 08-21 put last traded $0.90 on 07/24 (now $0.20/$1.30) — try a limit near $0.75.
