Implied volatility

ARVN is currently trading with moderate implied volatility, broadly in line with other large-cap stocks. On the options we scanned that was around 32% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.

Options on ARVN currently price in about 32% implied volatility, versus roughly 47% the stock has actually realised over the past month. That makes options relatively cheap — an edge for strategies that buy premium, such as long calls, long puts and debit spreads.

Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$0.89 (±10%) in ARVN by 2026-09-18 — a range of roughly $8.07 to $9.86. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.

Across strikes, downside puts on ARVN trade at a higher implied volatility than upside calls — the market is paying up for crash protection. That skew favours selling put spreads or buying calls over symmetric trades.

ARVN insider trading activity (SEC Form 4)

Open-market insider transactions at ARVN over roughly the last six months, from SEC Form 4 filings. Open-market buys are the rarer, more telling signal — routine selling under pre-arranged plans is common, so read a net-selling figure with that in mind.

Earnings & IV crush

ARVN's next earnings report is due around November 4, 2026. Options that expire after it price in a binary move, so their implied volatility is elevated and usually collapses right after the announcement — an "IV crush". If your expiration falls before this date, the trade sidesteps the event.
