Current AIFU snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $2.31, ATM IV 210.90%, IV rank 40.50%, expected move 60.46%. The bull call spread on AIFU below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this bull call spread structure on AIFU specifically: AIFU IV at 210.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 60.46% (roughly $1.40 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AIFU expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AIFU should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.31 per share and to the trader's directional view on AIFU stock.
AIFU bull call spread setup
The AIFU bull call spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AIFU near $2.31, the first option leg uses a $2.31 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AIFU chain at a 34-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 AIFU shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AIFU thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AIFU extends from approximately $0.91 on the downside to $3.71 on the upside. A AIFU bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on AIFU, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current AIFU IV rank near 40.50% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the bull call spread thesis on AIFU should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, AIFU options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AIFU-specific events.
AIFU 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. AIFU positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AIFU alongside the broader basket even when AIFU-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on AIFU 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 AIFU chain quotes before placing a trade.
