- Put Option Appeal: Galaxy Digital's $26.50 put option currently bids at 96 cents, and if investors sell-to-open this option, they commit to buying shares at $26.50, effectively lowering their cost basis to $25.54, which represents a 15% discount to the current price of $31.11, making it attractive for those looking to enter at a lower price.
- Yield Potential Analysis: Should the put option expire worthless, it would yield a 3.62% return on the cash commitment, or an annualized rate of 30.75%, highlighting the strategy's appeal, especially in a volatile market environment.
- Call Option Opportunity: Concurrently, the $34.00 call option bids at $1.57, and if investors buy shares at $31.11 and sell this call, they could achieve a total return of 14.34% if the stock is called away at expiration, further enhancing the investment's attractiveness.
- Market Volatility Consideration: The implied volatility for the put option stands at 88%, while the call option is at 94%, indicating a high expectation for future price fluctuations, which investors should monitor to optimize their investment strategies.
