ANTX Long Put Strategy
ANTX (AN2 Therapeutics, Inc.), in the Healthcare sector, (Biotechnology industry), listed on NASDAQ.
AN2 Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company currently in its clinical development phase, specializing in the creation of treatments for uncommon, long-term, and severe infectious conditions. A key focus of their pipeline is epetraborole, an investigational oral medication designed for once-daily administration to individuals battling chronic non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease. This enterprise was established in 2017 and operates from its headquarters situated in Menlo Park, California.
ANTX (AN2 Therapeutics, Inc.) trades in the Healthcare sector, specifically Biotechnology, with a market capitalization of approximately $226.2M, a beta of -0.99 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 1-7.19, average daily share volume of 298K, a public-listing history dating back to 2022, approximately 21 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how ANTX stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of -0.99 indicates ANTX has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. ANTX pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a long put on ANTX?

ANTX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $6.05, ATM IV 361.70%, expected move 103.70%. The long put on ANTX below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this long put structure on ANTX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ANTX is inferred from ATM IV at 361.70% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 103.70% (roughly $6.27 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ANTX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ANTX should anchor to the underlying notional of $6.05 per share and to the trader's directional view on ANTX stock.
ANTX long put setup
The ANTX 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 ANTX at $6.05 on that close, the first option leg uses a $6.05 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ANTX chain at a 35-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 ANTX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ANTX thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ANTX extends from approximately $-0.22 on the downside to $12.32 on the upside. A ANTX long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long ANTX position with one put per 100 shares held. As a Healthcare name, ANTX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ANTX-specific events.
ANTX 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. ANTX positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ANTX alongside the broader basket even when ANTX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on ANTX 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 ANTX chain quotes before placing a trade.
