AYA snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $25.84, ATM IV 73.90%, IV rank 63.47%, expected move 21.19%. The bull call spread on AYA below is built from the 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 AYA specifically: AYA IV at 73.90% 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 21.19% (roughly $5.47 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 AYA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AYA should anchor to the underlying notional of $25.84 per share and to the trader's directional view on AYA stock.
AYA bull call spread setup
The AYA 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 AYA at $25.84 on that close, the first option leg uses a $25.84 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AYA 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 AYA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AYA thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AYA extends from approximately $20.37 on the downside to $31.31 on the upside. A AYA bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on AYA, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current AYA IV rank near 63.47% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the bull call spread thesis on AYA should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Basic Materials name, AYA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AYA-specific events.
AYA 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. AYA positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AYA alongside the broader basket even when AYA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on AYA 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 AYA chain quotes before placing a trade.
