ARTV snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $11.54, ATM IV 154.20%, expected move 44.21%. The bear put spread on ARTV 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 bear put spread structure on ARTV specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ARTV is inferred from ATM IV at 154.20% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 44.21% (roughly $5.10 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 ARTV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARTV should anchor to the underlying notional of $11.54 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARTV stock.

ARTV bear put spread setup

The ARTV 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 ARTV at $11.54 on that close, the first option leg uses a $11.54 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARTV 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 ARTV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ARTV thesis for this bear put spread

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ARTV extends from approximately $6.44 on the downside to $16.64 on the upside. A ARTV bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on ARTV, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. As a Healthcare name, ARTV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARTV-specific events.

ARTV bear put spread positions are structurally moderately 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. ARTV positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARTV alongside the broader basket even when ARTV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on ARTV 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 ARTV chain quotes before placing a trade.
