New Trading Opportunities Emerge for SS&C Technologies Holdings Inc Options

Options Trading Begins for December 2025 Expiration

Investors in SS&C Technologies Holdings Inc (Symbol: SSNC) have new options available for trading, specifically set to expire in December 2025. With 409 days remaining until expiration, these contracts may allow sellers of puts or calls to earn a better premium compared to those with shorter timeframes.

Put Contract Details: $70.00 Strike Price

A notable option is the put contract at a strike price of $70.00, currently bidding at $2.50. If an investor chooses to sell this put, they essentially agree to buy the stock at $70.00 while collecting the premium. This results in an effective share purchase price of $67.50, before broker commissions. For investors considering acquiring SSNC shares today, trading at $71.69 each, this offers a favorable alternative.

The $70.00 strike price is about a 2% discount from the current stock price, meaning it is out-of-the-money by that percentage. There’s a chance that the put contract could expire worthless, with current analysis suggesting a 64% probability of this outcome. Stock Options Channel will track and update these odds on their website, allowing investors to monitor changes over time. If the contract does expire worthless, the premium equates to a 3.57% return on the cash commitment, or an annualized rate of 3.19%—this metric is known as the YieldBoost.

Call Contract Insights: $75.00 Strike Price

Turning to call options, the contract available at a $75.00 strike price has a current bid listed at $4.60. An investor buying SSNC shares at the current price of $71.69 and selling this call contract (known as a covered call) would agree to sell at $75.00. If the stock is called away at the December 2025 expiration, this strategy could yield a total return of 11.03%, excluding dividends and broker commissions.

However, potential gains might be limited if SSNC’s share price increases significantly, emphasizing the importance of studying the company’s trading history and business fundamentals. A chart showing SSNC’s trading history highlights where the $75.00 strike price stands in comparison.

This $75.00 strike price represents around a 5% increase from the current trading price, suggesting it is out-of-the-money by that percentage. There is also a possibility the covered call could expire worthless, allowing the investor to retain their shares and the collected premium. Current analysis indicates a 46% chance of this scenario occurring, and Stock Options Channel will provide ongoing updates on these odds and chart the trading history of the option contract. If the covered call expires without being exercised, the premium would represent a 6.42% increase in returns for the investor, or 5.73% annualized—also classified as a YieldBoost.

Volatility Details and Further Options Exploration

The implied volatility for both the put and call contract examples is currently about 24%. In contrast, the actual trailing twelve-month volatility, based on the last 251 trading days and the current price of $71.69, stands at 19%.
