Expected move — Sep 11, 2026 (9 days)
Methodology →Read from option prices: the at-the-money straddle costs this much, so the market is pricing a move of about that size in either direction by this date. It is an estimate of movement, not a prediction of direction.
Options are pricing a move of about ±3.7% (range 71.13–76.63) by Sep 11, 2026. ATM straddle: 2.75 @ strike 74 · ATM IV: 26.9%.
