What is a long put on AIP?
A long put buys downside exposure with a fixed maximum loss equal to the premium paid; profit accrues if the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration.
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 long 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 long put structure on AIP specifically: AIP IV at 93.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, 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 long put setup
The AIP 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 AIP near $33.50, the first option leg uses a $33.50 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).

AIP thesis for this long 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 long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long AIP position with one put per 100 shares held. Current AIP IV rank near 36.18% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long 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 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. 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. Long-premium structures like a long put on AIP 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 AIP chain quotes before placing a trade.

Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a AIP long put?
- The breakeven for the AIP long put priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current AIP market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 26.72%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
- When should you consider a long put on AIP?
- Long puts on AIP hedge an existing long AIP stock position or express a bearish view with defined risk; position sizing typically scales the put notional to the underlying AIP exposure being hedged.
- How does current AIP implied volatility affect this long put?
- AIP ATM IV is at 93.20% with IV rank near 36.18%, which is mid-range against its 1-year history. Strategy selection depends more on directional thesis and expected move than on a strong IV signal.
