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. 89 contracts (avg 154 vol/day, 89 traded recently)

PKG averages only 154 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 $12.20 on 07/30 (now $12.70/$15.10) — try a limit near $12.70. Also watch the $250.00 09-18 call last traded $13.34 on 07/27 (now $10.50/$12.90) — try a limit near $11.70; the $270.00 08-21 call last traded $2.97 on 07/27 (now $0.75/$2.50) — try a limit near $1.63. Most tradeable put: the $165.00 08-21 put last traded $0.21 on 07/28 (now $0.00/$0.25) — try a limit near $0.13.
