Current AVLV snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $87.97, ATM IV 15.20%, IV rank 0.79%, expected move 4.36%. The long put on AVLV below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.

Why this long put structure on AVLV specifically: AVLV IV at 15.20% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a AVLV long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 4.36% (roughly $3.83 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AVLV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

AVLV long put setup

The AVLV long put below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AVLV near $87.97, the first option leg uses a $88.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AVLV chain at a 34-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 AVLV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AVLV thesis for this long put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AVLV extends from approximately $84.14 on the downside to $91.80 on the upside. A AVLV long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long AVLV position with one put per 100 shares held. Current AVLV IV rank near 0.79% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on AVLV at 15.20%. As a Financial Services name, AVLV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AVLV-specific events.

AVLV long put positions are structurally bearish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. AVLV positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AVLV alongside the broader basket even when AVLV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on AVLV are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current AVLV chain quotes before placing a trade.
