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 $250.00 08-21 call last traded $5.56 on 07/31 (now $6.50/$9.30) — try a limit near $6.50. Most tradeable put: the $230.00 10-16 put last traded $7.46 on 07/29 (now $3.60/$6.40) — try a limit near $5.00.
