Current CPRI snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $17.23, ATM IV 74.80%, IV rank 13.62%, expected move 21.44%. The bear put spread on CPRI 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 217-day expiry.
Why this bear put spread structure on CPRI specifically: CPRI IV at 74.80% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a CPRI bear put spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.44% (roughly $3.69 on the underlying). The 217-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CPRI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CPRI should anchor to the underlying notional of $17.23 per share and to the trader's directional view on CPRI stock.
CPRI bear put spread setup
The CPRI 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 CPRI near $17.23, the first option leg uses a $17.23 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CPRI chain at a 217-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 CPRI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CPRI thesis for this bear put spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CPRI extends from approximately $13.54 on the downside to $20.92 on the upside. A CPRI bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on CPRI, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current CPRI IV rank near 13.62% 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 CPRI at 74.80%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, CPRI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CPRI-specific events.
CPRI 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. CPRI positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CPRI alongside the broader basket even when CPRI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on CPRI 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 CPRI chain quotes before placing a trade.
