CDE max pain by expiry
Coeur Mining's max pain for 2026-Sep-18 is 20.00, 2.8% below the last price. It is the strike at which the calls and puts open for that expiry would pay out the least in total, computed from open interest. Price sometimes drifts toward it in the final session because of dealer hedging; treat it as a reference level, not a target. How max pain is calculated.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-Sep-18 Fri | 20.00 | -2.8% | 0.30 |
| 2026-Sep-25 Fri | 17.00 | -17.4% | 0.58 |

CDE put/call ratio
The put/call ratio for the 2026-Sep-18 expiry is 0.30: well under 1, so traders hold noticeably more calls than puts on that date. Readings well below 0.7 are often read as complacent and above 1.2 as fearful, and extremes are sometimes taken as contrarian signals, but on index products like SPY a high ratio is normal because puts are bought as insurance. It is a sentiment gauge, not a direction call. What the ratio measures and what it does not.
CDE closed inside its published expected range 100% of the time across every reading stored since 2026-09-04. One standard deviation should land near 68%; higher means the options were rich.
The realised move averaged 2.04% against an expected ±7.01%. Breaches: 0 through the top, 0 through the bottom.

Reading the CDE expected move table
Each row is one expiry. The shaded band is the one-standard-deviation range the option chain implies for CDE on that date: the market gives roughly a two-in-three chance that CDE closes inside it and a one-in-three chance it closes outside. The black tick is the last traded price, 20.58. The diamond is max pain, the strike where option holders would collect the least if the stock settled there.
The range widens with time because uncertainty compounds with the square root of time: the 2026-Oct-16 range (±18.66%) is wider than the 2026-Sep-18 range (±8.50%) even though the daily volatility behind both is the same.
