Current BOBS snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $11.66, ATM IV 79.00%, expected move 22.65%. The bull call spread on BOBS 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 BOBS specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for BOBS is inferred from ATM IV at 79.00% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 22.65% (roughly $2.64 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 BOBS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BOBS should anchor to the underlying notional of $11.66 per share and to the trader's directional view on BOBS stock.
BOBS bull call spread setup
The BOBS 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 BOBS near $11.66, the first option leg uses a $11.66 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BOBS 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 BOBS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

BOBS thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BOBS extends from approximately $9.02 on the downside to $14.30 on the upside. A BOBS bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on BOBS, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. As a Consumer Cyclical name, BOBS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BOBS-specific events.
BOBS 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. BOBS positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BOBS alongside the broader basket even when BOBS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on BOBS 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 BOBS chain quotes before placing a trade.
