ADMA snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $9.45, ATM IV 54.10%, IV rank 6.75%, expected move 15.51%. The long call on ADMA 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 7-day expiry.
Why this long call structure on ADMA specifically: ADMA IV at 54.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a ADMA long call, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.51% (roughly $1.47 on the underlying). The 7-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ADMA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ADMA should anchor to the underlying notional of $9.45 per share and to the trader's directional view on ADMA stock.
ADMA long call setup
The ADMA long call 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 ADMA at $9.45 on that close, the first option leg uses a $9.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ADMA chain at a 7-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 ADMA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use long call on ADMA
Long calls on ADMA express a bullish thesis with defined risk; traders use them ahead of ADMA catalysts (earnings, product launches, macro events) when the expected upside justifies the premium and theta decay.
ADMA thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ADMA extends from approximately $7.98 on the downside to $10.92 on the upside. A ADMA long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. Current ADMA IV rank near 6.75% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on ADMA at 54.10%. As a Healthcare name, ADMA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ADMA-specific events.
ADMA long call positions are structurally 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. ADMA positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ADMA alongside the broader basket even when ADMA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on ADMA 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 ADMA chain quotes before placing a trade.
