New Investment Opportunities Arise for FTAI Aviation Ltd Ahead of 2025 Options

September 2025 Options Introduced: Analyzing Puts and Calls for Investors

Investors in FTAI Aviation Ltd (Symbol: FTAI) will find new options available today, set to expire in September 2025. With 312 days until expiration, these contracts present a chance for premium sellers of puts and calls to earn higher returns compared to those with shorter expirations. Stock Options Channel has examined the FTAI options chain and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.

The put contract at the $160.00 strike price currently has a bid of $20.00. Selling this put contract means committing to buy shares of FTAI at $160.00 while collecting a premium, which reduces the effective cost basis to $140.00 (before any broker fees). For investors looking to acquire FTAI shares, this option could be a better deal compared to the current price of $164.10 per share.

This $160.00 strike is approximately 2% below the current trading price, marking it as out-of-the-money. Currently, there’s a 63% chance that the put contract may expire worthless, based on available analytical data. Stock Options Channel will monitor these odds over time, showcasing them on our website under the contract detail page. If the contract expires without value, the premium would yield a 12.50% return on the cash commitment, translating to a 14.63% annualized return, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.

Below, you can see a chart illustrating the trailing twelve-month trading history for FTAI Aviation Ltd, highlighting the position of the $160.00 strike price relative to that history:

Shifting focus to call options, the contract at the $170.00 strike price is currently bid at $24.00. For an investor buying shares of FTAI at $164.10 and also selling this call contract as a “covered call,” they could be obligated to sell the stock at $170.00. This strategy, combined with the premium earned, could lead to a total return of 18.22% if the stock is called away by the September 2025 expiration (excluding any dividends and before broker commissions). However, if FTAI shares appreciate significantly, selling the call may limit potential profits. Hence, it is vital to analyze the trailing twelve-month trading history and consider the company’s fundamentals.

Here’s a chart showing FTAI’s trading history with the $170.00 strike marked:

The $170.00 strike is approximately 4% above the current trading price, meaning the covered call may also expire worthless. If this occurs, the investor would retain both their shares and the premium. Currently, analytical data suggests there is a 42% chance that the covered call may expire without value. Stock Options Channel will track these odds and provide updates on our website. Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would equate to a 14.63% additional return for the investor, or 17.11% annualized, also known as the YieldBoost.

The implied volatility for the put contract stands at 46%, while the call contract has an implied volatility of 45%. In comparison, we calculate the actual trailing twelve-month volatility, based on the last 250 trading days and today’s price of $164.10, to be 40%.
