OFIX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $10.41, ATM IV 31.70%, IV rank 2.27%, expected move 9.09%. The bull call spread on OFIX 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 OFIX specifically: OFIX IV at 31.70% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a OFIX bull call spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.09% (roughly $0.95 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 OFIX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OFIX should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.41 per share and to the trader's directional view on OFIX stock.
OFIX bull call spread setup
The OFIX 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 OFIX at $10.41 on that close, the first option leg uses a $10.41 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OFIX 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 OFIX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

OFIX thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OFIX extends from approximately $9.46 on the downside to $11.36 on the upside. A OFIX bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on OFIX, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current OFIX IV rank near 2.27% 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 OFIX at 31.70%. As a Healthcare name, OFIX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OFIX-specific events.
OFIX 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. OFIX positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OFIX alongside the broader basket even when OFIX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on OFIX 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 OFIX chain quotes before placing a trade.
