What is a long put on EMR?
A long put buys downside exposure with a fixed maximum loss equal to the premium paid; profit accrues if the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration.
Current EMR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $132.91, ATM IV 31.91%, IV rank 55.90%, expected move 9.15%. The long put on EMR 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 long put structure on EMR specifically: EMR IV at 31.91% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.15% (roughly $12.16 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 EMR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on EMR should anchor to the underlying notional of $132.91 per share and to the trader's directional view on EMR stock.
EMR long put setup
The EMR 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 EMR near $132.91, the first option leg uses a $133.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed EMR 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 EMR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |

Long puts on EMR hedge an existing long EMR stock position or express a bearish view with defined risk; position sizing typically scales the put notional to the underlying EMR exposure being hedged.
EMR thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for EMR extends from approximately $120.75 on the downside to $145.07 on the upside. A EMR long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long EMR position with one put per 100 shares held. Current EMR IV rank near 55.90% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long put thesis on EMR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, EMR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to EMR-specific events.
EMR 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. EMR positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move EMR alongside the broader basket even when EMR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on EMR 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 EMR chain quotes before placing a trade.
