HPE last closed at $48.29 with 30-day implied volatility of 82.1%. That is in the upper half of its one-year range (IV rank 56), so premiums are somewhat richer than usual for HPE. Measured by IV percentile, IV is higher than 95% of the past year's readings. Options expiring Dec 11 (28 days out) price a one standard deviation move of about $11.29, or 23.4%.
The price is above its 200-day moving average (+14.6%) but below its 50-day (-17.9%), a pullback inside a longer uptrend. It is 34.3% below its 52-week high and 141.5% above its 52-week low. The 14-day RSI of 39.2 is between 30 and 70, neither overbought nor oversold. The 14-day average true range is $3.71, about 7.7% of the price, a measure of a typical day's range.
Option volume at the close (26.8K contracts) was 0.9x its average, close to normal. A beta of 2.25 means HPE has tended to move about 2.3 times as much as the broad market. 3 of our preset screens found trades on HPE at the close, led by Bull Call Spreads on High-Beta Names with 49 trades.
Expected move = price x at-the-money IV x the square root of (days to expiration / 365), a one standard deviation range. The straddle is the at-the-money call plus put, the market's own price for a move. Compare expected moves across stocks.

Each expiration has its own implied volatility, and short-dated IV reacts more to near-term events, so the nearest expiration can differ a lot from the 30-day figure.
