New Options Activity for Rigetti Computing Ahead of June Expiration

Rigetti Computing Inc (RGTI) has seen new options contracts become available for the June 18th expiration, offering investors potential strategies as the stock trades at $14.28 per share. Among the notable options, the $8.00 put contract has a bid of 20 cents, while the $26.00 call contract has a bid of 25 cents. These options present opportunities for investors to hedge or speculate on the stock's price movement. The $8.00 put contract represents a 44% discount to the current stock price and carries an 87% probability of expiring worthless, according to analytical data. If this occurs, the premium collected could yield a 2.50% return on cash commitment, or 12.50% annualized, which is referred to as the YieldBoost by Stock Options Channel. On the call side, the $26.00 strike price is 82% above the current trading price, with a 70% chance of expiring worthless. Investors who sell this covered call could see a potential 83.82% return if the stock is called away at expiration. However, this strategy also carries the risk of missing out on significant upside if the stock rises sharply. The implied volatility for the put and call contracts is 192% and 152%, respectively, compared to the stock's trailing twelve-month volatility of 105%. These figures highlight the elevated expectations for price movement in the near term. Investors are advised to review the company's trailing twelve-month trading history and fundamentals before engaging in these options strategies.
