Current CELH snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $30.20, ATM IV 56.76%, IV rank 38.78%, expected move 16.27%. The cash-secured put on CELH 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 28-day expiry.
Why this cash-secured put structure on CELH specifically: CELH IV at 56.76% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a CELH cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.27% (roughly $4.91 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CELH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CELH should anchor to the underlying notional of $30.20 per share and to the trader's directional view on CELH stock.
CELH cash-secured put setup
The CELH cash-secured 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 CELH near $30.20, the first option leg uses a $29.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CELH chain at a 28-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 CELH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CELH thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CELH extends from approximately $25.29 on the downside to $35.11 on the upside. A CELH cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire CELH 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 CELH IV rank near 38.78% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on CELH should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Defensive name, CELH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CELH-specific events.
CELH 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. CELH positions also carry Consumer Defensive sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CELH alongside the broader basket even when CELH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on CELH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CELH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CELH chain quotes before placing a trade.
