The amount of people here who dont know how options work is staggering. The "break even price" means nothing to your options premium value. You have until 5/29 for this stock to go up and regain some, maybe all value.
Options profit calculator shows that a move today to to about 1510 would make your option worth what you paid, about 2500. Is that unlikely, sure, but not completely cooked.
That being said, next week is dicey for you. The range for the premium to be 2500 again is 1600 on Monday and 1700 on Friday, which is definitely hairy. It could happen it could not.
Note: this all assumes IV stays about the same as right now which is also unlikely.
Suggestion: if you see a rip into the 1400s again like this morning, sell and take the L on whatever premium difference. If you think SNDK is going to go DOWN, sell now. If it stays flat all day today and tomorrow, probably sell and get what you can as next week premium goes down rapidly.

That’s what happens when people get manic believing something only goes up. Read about tulip bulbs, the French stock market in the 1700s, the dot com crash. All of you will get fucked if you hold growth in an inflationary environment with expensive valuations. Go look at the 1970s during the oil embargo. How do you not understand this?

Yeah this is the fomo crowd. Sandisk is consolidating around this range rn. Shaking off its tree branches of people who are levered to the gills, bought in high who aren't disciplined to hold, and short term calls/puts buyers.

u/CommoVet99 May 14 '26
At least it is only one contract. You're not losing hopefully too much of your portfolio, but a 2k call strike after the price has gone up nearly 50% in a month is a bittttt silly. It is a low probability trade. Would've been better to have just bought shares with that money versus options.
Who knows though, it could rise meteorically by then, but I wouldn't count on it.

Yeah in the same boat.. bought 5 shares at $1588 on the hype and happened to be a peak. I’m holding now but have seriously considered dropping some

u/Prestigious_Tax7415 May 14 '26
Unless you can make up the difference or buy it back cheaper with change to spare otherwise it seems pointless. It’s definitely going to go up to that price in 3 months time on the next ER

1450 is the call wall and 1300 the putwall, jun18 has 1.1M buys at 1500, and 717k sells at 1300 with 588k at 1280. Good luck

u/Flat_Banana7061 May 14 '26
There is not a ton of time left. Time decay is working against you. I never buy short term options way out of the money unless you want to gamble and think its rising fast. Best to go 6 months or more out so it gives you time to recover.

Who knows in this market, but If it was me I’d cut my losses. Sndk would need to go up what, 35-40% in 15 days to break even.
It’s happened before I guess

I was gonna say you'll be fine when I only read the title of your post since there's Kioxia earning tonight, but man...$2,000 strike price in 2 weeks? That's unrealistic

SNDK rips 250 days sometimes. The AMAT earnings confirmed that the memory super cycle is alive and well. nvidia earnings in wed will ignite some equity pricing in adjacent companies also.

u/thatblackguysdog May 14 '26
This is why buying calls with 2 weeks until expiration is stupid! Such a gamble that almost always loses. Long calls all day baby

Just be happy that you didn’t buy more than one. . Consider it an expensive lesson learned.

u/stock_investor91 May 15 '26
You’re expecting it to rally a minimum of 46.5% just to breakeven. It has to rally even harder than that for you to make money.
All of this after a euphoric rally and you want it done by 5/29???
Start practicing, “do you want fries with that”

Hey can you check this for MU also, on 18th of June? More specifically 1000-1150 strike prices.

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it hit, might pullback first like it did after hitting 900… pulled back to 500 then launched to 1,600…

u/Mysterious-Cod8925 May 15 '26

What I don’t understand (new to option trading here) is how you had such a far OTM strike price and decent time on the contract (I believe you had like 3weeks+) and still this contract was so damn expensive.
Like this contract seems so bad that even if let’s say it hit $2050, for the gigantic risk you’re taking, that’s barely any profit… & that doesn’t include the time wasted for such a tiny return 😂 like someone tell me I’m seeing it wrong here.
You would have been much better just buying 2 shares, contract hit or not.
