CHPY snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $71.31, ATM IV 33.30%, expected move 9.55%. The bull call spread on CHPY below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this bull call spread structure on CHPY specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CHPY is inferred from ATM IV at 33.30% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.55% (roughly $6.81 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CHPY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CHPY should anchor to the underlying notional of $71.31 per share and to the trader's directional view on CHPY etf.

CHPY bull call spread setup

The CHPY bull call spread below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CHPY at $71.31 on that close, the first option leg uses a $71.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CHPY chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 CHPY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CHPY extends from approximately $64.50 on the downside to $78.12 on the upside. A CHPY bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on CHPY, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. As a Financial Services name, CHPY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CHPY-specific events.

CHPY bull call spread positions are structurally moderately bullish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. CHPY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CHPY alongside the broader basket even when CHPY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on CHPY are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current CHPY chain quotes before placing a trade.
