Context and implications
The session’s data highlights a heavy concentration of traded contracts in a subset of July 2026 expirations, with multiple call strikes among the top volume leaders and a single put strike leading put-side activity. Alongside the options flow, the share price move and the changes in three-month volatility and skew are part of the same snapshot of market activity for the company.
Where the data is concerned, open interest figures are time-stamped as of July 9 except where otherwise stated, which is a relevant consideration for interpreting the snapshot of positions reported here.
