What is a cash-secured put on AIP?
A cash-secured put sells an out-of-the-money put while holding cash equal to the strike-times-100 obligation, keeping the premium when the underlying stays above the strike.
Current AIP snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $33.50, ATM IV 93.20%, IV rank 36.18%, expected move 26.72%. The cash-secured put on AIP 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 cash-secured put structure on AIP specifically: AIP IV at 93.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a AIP cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 26.72% (roughly $8.95 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 AIP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AIP should anchor to the underlying notional of $33.50 per share and to the trader's directional view on AIP stock.
AIP cash-secured put setup
The AIP cash-secured 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 AIP near $33.50, the first option leg uses a $31.83 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AIP 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 AIP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use cash-secured put on AIP
Cash-secured puts on AIP earn premium while a trader waits to acquire AIP stock at a target strike below the current quote; most attractive when IV is rich and the trader is comfortable owning AIP.
AIP thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AIP extends from approximately $24.55 on the downside to $42.45 on the upside. A AIP cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire AIP at the strike price; the strategy is most attractive when the trader is comfortable holding the underlying at that level and IV is rich enough to compensate for the assignment risk. Current AIP IV rank near 36.18% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on AIP should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, AIP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AIP-specific events.
AIP cash-secured put positions are structurally neutral to slightly bullish; 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. AIP positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AIP alongside the broader basket even when AIP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on AIP carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AIP earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AIP chain quotes before placing a trade.
