SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc. · Healthcare
In the app, stock prices are live and options data is refreshed intraday.
SLS last closed at $7.86 with 30-day implied volatility of 469.6%. That is near the top of its one-year range (IV rank 100), so option premiums on SLS are expensive compared with its own recent history. Measured by IV percentile, IV is above every reading of the past year. Options expiring Dec 11 (28 days out) price a one standard deviation move of about $9.94, or 126.5%.
The price is below both its 50-day (-28.7%) and 200-day (-10.5%) moving averages. It is 49.2% below its 52-week high and 465.5% above its 52-week low. The 14-day RSI of 34.7 is between 30 and 70, neither overbought nor oversold. The 14-day average true range is $0.96, about 12.3% of the price, a measure of a typical day's range.
Option volume at the close (24.9K contracts) was 0.6x its average, quieter than usual. A beta of 2.26 means SLS has tended to move about 2.3 times as much as the broad market. None of our preset screens found trades on SLS at the close.

SLS expected move by expiration
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.
| Expiration | IV | Expected move | 1 SD range | Straddle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 20, 20267 days | 431.5% | ±$4.70 (59.8%) | $3.16 to $12.56 | $3.72 |
| Dec 11, 202628 days | 456.7% | ±$9.94 (126.5%) | $0.00 to $17.80 | n/a |
| Jan 15, 202763 days | 399.7% | ±$13.05 (166.0%) | $0.00 to $20.91 | $9.35 |
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.
