RMNI (Rimini Street, Inc.) trades in the Technology sector, specifically Software - Application, with a market capitalization of approximately $327.7M, a trailing P/E of 9.26, a beta of 1.27 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 2.87-5.38, average daily share volume of 403K, a public-listing history dating back to 2015, approximately 2K full-time employees.

A beta of 1.27 places RMNI roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 9.26 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price.

Current RMNI snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $3.46, ATM IV 237.90%, IV rank 93.27%, expected move 68.20%. The covered call on RMNI 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 covered call structure on RMNI specifically: RMNI IV at 237.90% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a RMNI covered call, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 68.20% (roughly $2.36 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 RMNI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RMNI should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.46 per share and to the trader's directional view on RMNI stock.
RMNI covered call setup
The RMNI covered call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RMNI near $3.46, the first option leg uses a $3.63 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RMNI 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 RMNI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RMNI thesis for this covered call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RMNI extends from approximately $1.10 on the downside to $5.82 on the upside. A RMNI covered call collects premium on an existing long RMNI position, trading off upside above the short call strike for immediate income; the short strike selection should reflect the trader's view on whether RMNI will breach that level within the expiration window. Current RMNI IV rank near 93.27% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on RMNI at 237.90%. As a Technology name, RMNI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RMNI-specific events.
RMNI covered call positions are structurally neutral to slightly 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. RMNI positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RMNI alongside the broader basket even when RMNI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a covered call on RMNI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical RMNI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current RMNI chain quotes before placing a trade.
