CATG snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $11.85, ATM IV 70.90%, expected move 20.33%. The bull call spread on CATG 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 CATG specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CATG is inferred from ATM IV at 70.90% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.33% (roughly $2.41 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 CATG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CATG should anchor to the underlying notional of $11.85 per share and to the trader's directional view on CATG stock.
CATG bull call spread setup
The CATG 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 CATG at $11.85 on that close, the first option leg uses a $11.85 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CATG 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 CATG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CATG thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CATG extends from approximately $9.44 on the downside to $14.26 on the upside. A CATG bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on CATG, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. As a Financial Services name, CATG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CATG-specific events.
CATG 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. CATG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CATG alongside the broader basket even when CATG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on CATG 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 CATG chain quotes before placing a trade.
