- Underlying: SBUX
- View: Bullish, targeting breakout above $107.27 to $110-112 range.
- Strategy Type: Debit Spread / Directional Upside Capture
- Option Contract Portfolio:
- Buy 1 SBUX 19 Dec 2026 $110 Call
- Sell 1 SBUX 19 Dec 2026 $120 Call
- Max Gain & Loss: Max Gain = $1,000 per spread ($10 spread width - $9.00 debit). Max Loss = $900 per spread (initial debit).
- Initial Cost/Credit: Debit of ~$9.00 per spread.
- Greek Exposure (Simulated):
- Delta: ~+0.15 (moderate bullish exposure)
- Theta: ~-0.01 (small daily time decay)
- Vega: ~+0.35 (positive exposure to rising IV)
- Gamma: ~0.01
- Rho: ~+0.02
- Rationale: This strategy aligns with the bullish breakout thesis targeting $110+. The long-dated (Dec 2026) expiration provides ample time for the thesis to play out, reducing gamma risk and time decay pressure. The sold $120 call lowers the net cost (debit) significantly, defining max risk. The positive Vega is beneficial as IV is currently low (IV Percentile 16.33%), offering potential for volatility expansion on further bullish momentum. It offers a favorable risk/reward (max loss capped) for a sustained move higher.
- Time Frame: Long-Term (8 months)
