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 $300.00 01-15 call last traded $7.00 on 07/27 (now $4.80/$8.10) — try a limit near $6.45. Most tradeable put: the $165.00 08-21 put last traded $0.21 on 07/28 (now $0.00/$1.20) — try a limit near $0.21.
