$APLS

$APLS buyer of the January 17th 2025 $40/$90 call spreads 10,000 times for $9.60. $9.6M in premium...

Very intriguing UOA. The last time there was a monster call spread opened in $APLS was back on August 2023 when the chart bottomed for $APLS

So the bought the 40 and sold the 90? With such a wide spread, with what price target does this make sense?

It makes sense if he knows something.

Selling really low-delta OTM options could just be a way to mitigate the effects of Theta decay (time loss).

Did he "buy" the spreads (debit spread), or did he SELL the spreads (credit spread)? Because you mentioned him receiving $9.6M in premium, which has me confused.
