Current CCBG snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $49.89, ATM IV 35.70%, IV rank 10.25%, expected move 10.23%. The long put on CCBG 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 18-day expiry.
Why this long put structure on CCBG specifically: CCBG IV at 35.70% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a CCBG long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.23% (roughly $5.11 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CCBG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CCBG should anchor to the underlying notional of $49.89 per share and to the trader's directional view on CCBG stock.
CCBG long put setup
The CCBG 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 CCBG near $49.89, the first option leg uses a $49.89 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CCBG chain at a 18-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 CCBG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CCBG thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CCBG extends from approximately $44.78 on the downside to $55.00 on the upside. A CCBG long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long CCBG position with one put per 100 shares held. Current CCBG IV rank near 10.25% 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 CCBG at 35.70%. As a Financial Services name, CCBG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CCBG-specific events.
CCBG 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. CCBG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CCBG alongside the broader basket even when CCBG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on CCBG 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 CCBG chain quotes before placing a trade.
