Current ARIS snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $18.21, ATM IV 55.10%, IV rank 33.38%, expected move 15.80%. The bull call spread on ARIS 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 ARIS specifically: ARIS IV at 55.10% 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 15.80% (roughly $2.88 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 ARIS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARIS should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.21 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARIS stock.
ARIS bull call spread setup
The ARIS 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 ARIS near $18.21, the first option leg uses a $18.21 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARIS 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 ARIS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ARIS thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ARIS extends from approximately $15.33 on the downside to $21.09 on the upside. A ARIS bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on ARIS, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current ARIS IV rank near 33.38% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the bull call spread thesis on ARIS should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Basic Materials name, ARIS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARIS-specific events.
ARIS 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. ARIS positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARIS alongside the broader basket even when ARIS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on ARIS 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 ARIS chain quotes before placing a trade.
