Current MYE snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $31.66, ATM IV 24.20%, IV rank 0.02%, expected move 6.94%. The bull call spread on MYE 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 18-day expiry.
Why this bull call spread structure on MYE specifically: MYE IV at 24.20% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a MYE bull call spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.94% (roughly $2.20 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MYE expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MYE should anchor to the underlying notional of $31.66 per share and to the trader's directional view on MYE stock.
MYE bull call spread setup
The MYE 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 MYE near $31.66, the first option leg uses a $31.66 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MYE chain at a 18-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 MYE shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

MYE thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MYE extends from approximately $29.46 on the downside to $33.86 on the upside. A MYE bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on MYE, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current MYE IV rank near 0.02% 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 MYE at 24.20%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, MYE options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MYE-specific events.
MYE 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. MYE positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MYE alongside the broader basket even when MYE-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on MYE 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 MYE chain quotes before placing a trade.
