Let me help. Short answer: no. Options is a bet of up or down direction. In this case, if you sell call or buy put, you would have profited. The opposite is true if you are on the other side. Typically, options would have priced in the dividend (if the dividend is expected - some stocks pay dividend every quarter with a fixed dividend yield as example). In rare cases like this, the option likely didn’t price in (since this is the first time they pay dividend) and it’s a gamble for option holders
