AVY snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $178.44, ATM IV 21.00%, IV rank 22.94%, expected move 6.02%. The cash-secured put on AVY below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 cash-secured put structure on AVY specifically: AVY IV at 21.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling AVY cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.02% (roughly $10.74 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 AVY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AVY should anchor to the underlying notional of $178.44 per share and to the trader's directional view on AVY stock.
AVY cash-secured put setup
The AVY cash-secured put below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AVY at $178.44 on that close, the first option leg uses a $170.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AVY 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 AVY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AVY thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AVY extends from approximately $167.70 on the downside to $189.18 on the upside. A AVY cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire AVY 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 AVY IV rank near 22.94% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on AVY at 21.00%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, AVY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AVY-specific events.
AVY 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. AVY positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AVY alongside the broader basket even when AVY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on AVY carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AVY earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AVY chain quotes before placing a trade.
