Current IMUX snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $12.23, ATM IV 124.10%, IV rank 25.97%, expected move 35.58%. The bull call spread on IMUX 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 IMUX specifically: IMUX IV at 124.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a IMUX bull call spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 35.58% (roughly $4.35 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 IMUX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on IMUX should anchor to the underlying notional of $12.23 per share and to the trader's directional view on IMUX stock.

IMUX bull call spread setup

The IMUX 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 IMUX near $12.23, the first option leg uses a $12.23 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed IMUX 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 IMUX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

IMUX thesis for this bull call spread

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for IMUX extends from approximately $7.88 on the downside to $16.58 on the upside. A IMUX bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on IMUX, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current IMUX IV rank near 25.97% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on IMUX at 124.10%. As a Healthcare name, IMUX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to IMUX-specific events.

IMUX 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. IMUX positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move IMUX alongside the broader basket even when IMUX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on IMUX 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 IMUX chain quotes before placing a trade.
