Viasat (VSAT) had a busy day in the options market on Wednesday. Its options volume on the day was 109,914, 11 times its 30-day average. At the same time, its Jan. 16/2026 $35 call had the highest Vol/OI (volume-to-open-interest) ratio at 343.19, more than double that of the second-highest.
I don’t know the last time the provider of global communications solutions had a Vol/OI ratio over 100,000. I went back 24 months, and the second-highest daily volume was 39,655, on Aug. 6. Eight of Viasat’s 10 highest daily volumes for options have come in 2025.
