Current ALAB snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $450.71, ATM IV 110.79%, IV rank 89.90%, expected move 31.76%. The bear put spread on ALAB 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 32-day expiry.

Why this bear put spread structure on ALAB specifically: ALAB IV at 110.79% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying ALAB bear put spread relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 31.76% (roughly $143.15 on the underlying). The 32-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ALAB expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ALAB should anchor to the underlying notional of $450.71 per share and to the trader's directional view on ALAB stock.

ALAB bear put spread setup

The ALAB bear put spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ALAB near $450.71, the first option leg uses a $450.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ALAB chain at a 32-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 ALAB shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
