ENTG (Entegris, Inc.) trades in the Technology sector, specifically Semiconductors, with a market capitalization of approximately $22.09B, a trailing P/E of 83.51, a beta of 1.40 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 66.32-159.15, average daily share volume of 2.6M, a public-listing history dating back to 2000, approximately 8K full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how ENTG stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 1.40 indicates ENTG has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position. The trailing P/E of 83.51 is on the rich side, which tends to correlate with higher earnings-window IV expansion as the market debates whether forward growth supports the multiple. ENTG pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a long put on ENTG?
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 ENTG snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $133.79, ATM IV 64.40%, IV rank 40.51%, expected move 18.46%. The long put on ENTG 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 34-day expiry.
Why this long put structure on ENTG specifically: ENTG IV at 64.40% 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 18.46% (roughly $24.70 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ENTG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ENTG should anchor to the underlying notional of $133.79 per share and to the trader's directional view on ENTG stock.
ENTG long put setup
The ENTG 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 ENTG near $133.79, the first option leg uses a $135.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ENTG chain at a 34-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 ENTG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ENTG thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ENTG extends from approximately $109.09 on the downside to $158.49 on the upside. A ENTG long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long ENTG position with one put per 100 shares held. Current ENTG IV rank near 40.51% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long put thesis on ENTG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, ENTG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ENTG-specific events.
ENTG 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. ENTG positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ENTG alongside the broader basket even when ENTG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on ENTG 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 ENTG chain quotes before placing a trade.
