- Call Contract Potential: Selling the call contract at an $18.00 strike price allows investors to collect a premium of $1.93, potentially achieving a total return of 14.21% if the stock is called away at expiration, though it may also mean missing out on further upside.
- Volatility Comparison: The implied volatility for the put contract is 147%, while the call contract stands at 124%, compared to an actual trailing volatility of 114%, indicating market expectations for RCAT's future price fluctuations, necessitating careful risk-reward assessment by investors.
