The options market is pricing an expected move of ±16.98% (±$10.35) for GCT (GigaCloud Technology Inc) earnings on Thursday, November 5, 2026 (time not confirmed). That is the mid price of the $60.00 at-the-money straddle expiring Friday, November 20, 2026, with GCT at $60.96 as of Oct 21, 2026 3:59 PM ET (CBOE delayed data).
