- The attached company research, “AT&T — financial and technical research”, was published Oct 23, 12:47 PM ET. It is dated context; this comparison does not establish a trade entry or claim that the insight predicted the measured option gain.
- Near expiry: no contract qualified for this report; this bucket is omitted.
- About one month: the $22 put, expiry 2026-11-27, moved from $0.46 at the 2026-10-22 daily close to $1.26 at Oct 23, 3:32 PM ET on 2026-10-23: +173.91%. These are dated aggregate observations.

- $22 put: one standard 100-share contract $46.00 → $126.00, $80.00 gain before costs; previous/current volumes 33/70, open interest 446. Volume and open interest do not establish buying direction.
- A bought put’s gross expiry value is max(strike − stock price, 0) per share. If the stock finishes at or above strike, the unexercised put expires worthless and the premium paid is lost, plus costs. Each measured premium increase above is distinct from its ending contract value.
- Each picture and graph uses the stock minute-bar open near that option observation as an approximate time match. The separately dated closing-stock snapshot is not a synchronous option quote. Returns compare to the previous close; these are not verified overnight opening gaps.
