SNDK Theta Report

Analysis based on market close April 17, 2026

Directional Theta Gang Flow Earnings Consensus

Historical consensus-supported lens with full content, report chain context, and metric rail.

Theta Verdict

Confidence:

8 / 10

base 5; +2 GEX/flow strongly aligned; +1 GEX positive (pinning); -1 spot 15.1% from MP; +1 VIX 17

IV Environment

IV Regime

High

IV vs VIX

ATM IVs elevated vs VIX; very steep short-term put skew (0–14d)

Favorable?

Yes

Term structure: Front-week (1–7d) IV compresses to ~20–22%; near-term (8–42d) stays elevated ~30–40%; mid-to-long (>90d) normalizes ~20–25%

📌Pinning concentrated at $800 across expiries; dealers show +$22.5M GEX

Pin Risk Assessment

Spot vs MP: Above

GEX regime: Pinning ($+22.5M)

Gamma flip: ~$700.00 — Approx — based on put OI concentration of 5,472 (24.0% below spot)

OI concentrations: Put OI concentrated at the $800 strike (~24% of total OI) while spot ≈ $985; roughly 1.2k contracts would be ITM at $800 causing potential assignment/notional exposure ≈ $1.2M and margin sensitivity if price approaches strike

Verdict: High pin risk into weekly expiries; dealer hedges (stock sells/put buys) — reflected in +$22.5M GEX near $800 — can anchor price and steepen short-term directional moves
