Active Trade Setup

ARM Bull Call Spread

A structured, defined-risk options play targeting a specific upward move in ARM Holdings. Currently trading at $176.30.

Teacher's Note: What is a Bull Call Spread?

If you are bullish on a stock, you could just buy a standard Call option. But Calls can be expensive! A Bull Call Spread (also known as a Call Debit Spread) lowers your cost. You buy a Call close to the current price, and simultaneously sell a Call further up.

The Trade-off: The Call you sold pays you cash, which makes the whole trade cheaper. But in exchange, it acts as a "ceiling"—capping your maximum potential profit if the stock rockets past it.

The Setup Mechanics

BUY 1x $180 Call

You paid $13.70 ($1,370) for the right to buy ARM at $180.

Current Price: $13.20 (P/L: -$50.00)

SELL 1x $190 Call

You collected $9.94 ($994) obligating you to sell ARM at $190.

Current Price: $10.70 (P/L: -$76.00)

Expiration

May 29, 2026 (38 DTE)

Breakeven Target

ARM > $183.76

The Rationale

  • AI Infrastructure Alliance

    ARM is a primary beneficiary of the massive buildout in AI data centers and edge computing.

  • Earnings Anticipation

    Positioning ahead of expected strong guidance and numbers.

  • Portfolio Synergy

    Since you are already long SMH (Semiconductor ETF), this acts as a high-conviction, high-correlation alpha bet on a specific winner within that sector.

Visualizing the Trade Profile

Max Risk ($376)
Break-even ($183.76)
Max Profit ($624)

Defined Risk

The absolute most you can lose is the net premium you paid to open the trade: $376 ($13.70 paid - $9.94 collected). This happens if ARM stays below $180 by May 29.

Capped Reward

Your maximum profit is the distance between the strikes ($1,000) minus the premium you paid ($376) = $624. You achieve max profit if ARM closes above $190.
