Options volume in Skyworks Solutions Inc. (SWKS) reached 32,697 contracts at 3:40 p.m. New York time on Monday, according to exchange data compiled by Bloomberg.

Call options represented the overwhelming share of the activity, totaling 31,379 contracts, while put options accounted for 1,318 contracts.

The single most active instrument was the August 21, 2026 $95 call, which registered 22,440 contracts traded against an open interest of 21,134 contracts. That strike alone comprised the largest portion of the day’s transactions.

Other notable call activity included the July 17, 2026 $95 call with 1,796 contracts traded and an open interest of 291 contracts, and the July 17, 2026 $80 call, which saw 887 contracts change hands with an open interest of 2,687 contracts.

A defined spread strategy involving the July 17, 2026 $80 call and the July 17, 2026 $95 call accounted for 710 contracts in total. That spread included 102 July 17, 2026 $80 calls with an open interest of 2,687 contracts and 608 July 17, 2026 $95 calls with an open interest of 291 contracts.

Separately, the August 21, 2026 $100 call logged 569 contracts against an open interest of 358 contracts.


The data show a pronounced skew toward calls in the intraday flow, with a single August $95 call strike concentrating a substantial proportion of trades. Volume and open interest figures for the July expirations indicate smaller, but still notable, activity at the $80 and $95 strikes, including a paired spread that combined both strikes in July contracts.

Market participants and analysts tracking derivatives flow can use these figures to gauge intraday positioning in options markets; however, the available data here describe only the recorded transactions and the associated open interest levels for the listed strikes and expirations.

Risks

  • Concentration risk at the August 21, 2026 $95 call - 22,440 contracts comprised the largest share of activity, which may increase sensitivity to moves in that single strike.
  • Open interest and volume mismatches for July expirations - for example, the July 17, 2026 $95 call recorded 1,796 contracts traded versus an open interest of 291, reflecting transactions that exceed existing open interest levels.
  • Limited put activity - put options totaled only 1,318 contracts, indicating a heavily call-skewed flow that could pose directional exposure for participants and market makers.
