Current MIR snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $18.11, ATM IV 57.30%, IV rank 19.81%, expected move 16.43%. The bull call spread on MIR 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 17-day expiry.
Why this bull call spread structure on MIR specifically: MIR IV at 57.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a MIR bull call spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.43% (roughly $2.98 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MIR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MIR should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.11 per share and to the trader's directional view on MIR stock.
MIR bull call spread setup
The MIR 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 MIR near $18.11, the first option leg uses a $18.11 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MIR chain at a 17-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 MIR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

MIR thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MIR extends from approximately $15.13 on the downside to $21.09 on the upside. A MIR bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on MIR, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current MIR IV rank near 19.81% 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 MIR at 57.30%. As a Industrials name, MIR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MIR-specific events.
MIR 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. MIR positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MIR alongside the broader basket even when MIR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on MIR 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 MIR chain quotes before placing a trade.
