KMDA (Kamada Ltd.) trades in the Healthcare sector, specifically Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic, with a market capitalization of approximately $396.9M, a trailing P/E of 19.94, a beta of 0.15 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 6.5-9.35, average daily share volume of 43K, a public-listing history dating back to 2013, approximately 462 full-time employees.

What is a cash-secured put on KMDA?

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.

KMDA snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $7.55, ATM IV 167.30%, IV rank 33.73%, expected move 47.96%. The cash-secured put on KMDA below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this cash-secured put structure on KMDA specifically: KMDA IV at 167.30% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a KMDA cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 47.96% (roughly $3.62 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated KMDA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on KMDA should anchor to the underlying notional of $7.55 per share and to the trader's directional view on KMDA stock.

KMDA cash-secured put setup

The KMDA 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 KMDA at $7.55 on that close, the first option leg uses a $7.17 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed KMDA chain at a 35-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 KMDA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

KMDA thesis for this cash-secured put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for KMDA extends from approximately $3.93 on the downside to $11.17 on the upside. A KMDA cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire KMDA 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 KMDA IV rank near 33.73% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on KMDA should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, KMDA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to KMDA-specific events.

KMDA 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. KMDA positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move KMDA alongside the broader basket even when KMDA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on KMDA carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical KMDA earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current KMDA chain quotes before placing a trade.
