GTM (ZoomInfo Technologies Inc.) trades in the Technology sector, specifically Software - Application, with a market capitalization of approximately $851.7M, a trailing P/E of 7.36, a beta of 0.86 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 2.54-12.51, average daily share volume of 11.8M, a public-listing history dating back to 2020, approximately 4K full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how GTM stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.86 places GTM roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 7.36 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price.
What is a cash-secured put on GTM?
A cash-secured put sells an out-of-the-money put while holding cash equal to the strike-times-100 obligation, keeping the premium when the underlying stays above the strike.
Current GTM snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $2.92, ATM IV 89.20%, IV rank 16.05%, expected move 25.57%. The cash-secured put on GTM 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 cash-secured put structure on GTM specifically: GTM IV at 89.20% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling GTM cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 25.57% (roughly $0.75 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 GTM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GTM should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.92 per share and to the trader's directional view on GTM stock.
GTM cash-secured put setup
The GTM 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 GTM near $2.92, the first option leg uses a $2.77 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GTM 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 GTM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

GTM thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GTM extends from approximately $2.17 on the downside to $3.67 on the upside. A GTM cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire GTM 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 GTM IV rank near 16.05% 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 GTM at 89.20%. As a Technology name, GTM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GTM-specific events.
GTM 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. GTM positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GTM alongside the broader basket even when GTM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on GTM carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical GTM earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current GTM chain quotes before placing a trade.
