Positioning before the decision
On Dec 5, 2025, 14 days before the decision date, at-the-money options priced a move of ±23.4% through Jan 16, 2026 (the first listed expiry after the decision; ATM implied volatility 88%). The stock closed +0.8% at the first close across the decision and +1.5% five trading days on. A straddle priced weeks out covers ordinary movement plus the event, so this is the move the options market priced through that expiry, not the event-implied move alone. How this compares across 1,000+ decisions.
