Option Profit Calculator Results for DIS Calendar Spread at 17-Nov-23 Expiration
In this scenario, the optimal stock price for the option strategy would be $75.00 on the date of the first expiration, November 17, 2023. This is equal to the strike price of the options in the spread. Since DIS is in a technical downtrend currently, and the strikes are below the current stock price of $80.79, the spread is taking advantage of the stock's downward momentum. If the stock price is $75.00 at expiration, we can benefit from the 17-Nov-23 put, which we sold, expiring worthless, and the option that we are long, the 15-Dec-23 put, will still have time premium built in.
Since we do now know what the exact implied volatility will be on November 17, we can use our historical data to make an educated estimate to help us calculate the value of the 15-Dec-23 option. Applying the median historical implied volatility of 31.9 from similar options, the theoretical value of the put is 2.48 at the date of the 17-Nov-23 expiration. Using the above assumptions gives us a potential upside of +406% for this calendar spread.
