Current ARBE snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $1.04, ATM IV 157.00%, IV rank 49.25%, expected move 45.01%. The long call on ARBE 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 long call structure on ARBE specifically: ARBE IV at 157.00% 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 45.01% (roughly $0.47 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 ARBE expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARBE should anchor to the underlying notional of $1.04 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARBE stock.
ARBE long call setup
The ARBE long call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ARBE near $1.04, the first option leg uses a $1.04 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARBE 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 ARBE shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ARBE thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ARBE extends from approximately $0.57 on the downside to $1.51 on the upside. A ARBE 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 ARBE IV rank near 49.25% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long call thesis on ARBE should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, ARBE options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARBE-specific events.
ARBE 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. ARBE positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARBE alongside the broader basket even when ARBE-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on ARBE 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 ARBE chain quotes before placing a trade.
