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. 90 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 $250.00 10-16 call last traded $11.97 on 07/31 (now $16.30/$19.20) — try a limit near $16.30. Also watch the $260.00 10-16 call last traded $12.80 on 07/27 (now $11.20/$13.50) — try a limit near $12.35.
