Current LLYVA snapshot
As of May 14, 2026, spot at $97.19, ATM IV 36.60%, IV rank 2.91%, expected move 10.49%. The cash-secured put on LLYVA 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 98-day expiry.
Why this cash-secured put structure on LLYVA specifically: LLYVA IV at 36.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling LLYVA cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.49% (roughly $10.20 on the underlying). The 98-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated LLYVA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LLYVA should anchor to the underlying notional of $97.19 per share and to the trader's directional view on LLYVA stock.
LLYVA cash-secured put setup
The LLYVA 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 LLYVA near $97.19, the first option leg uses a $90.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LLYVA chain at a 98-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 LLYVA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

LLYVA thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LLYVA extends from approximately $86.99 on the downside to $107.39 on the upside. A LLYVA cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire LLYVA 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 LLYVA IV rank near 2.91% 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 LLYVA at 36.60%. As a Communication Services name, LLYVA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LLYVA-specific events.
LLYVA 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. LLYVA positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LLYVA alongside the broader basket even when LLYVA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on LLYVA carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical LLYVA earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current LLYVA chain quotes before placing a trade.
