LOFF snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $15.04, ATM IV 127.30%, expected move 36.50%. The bear put spread on LOFF below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 bear put spread structure on LOFF specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for LOFF is inferred from ATM IV at 127.30% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 36.50% (roughly $5.49 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 LOFF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LOFF should anchor to the underlying notional of $15.04 per share and to the trader's directional view on LOFF stock.
LOFF bear put spread setup
The LOFF bear put spread below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With LOFF at $15.04 on that close, the first option leg uses a $15.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LOFF 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 LOFF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |

LOFF thesis for this bear put spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LOFF extends from approximately $9.55 on the downside to $20.53 on the upside. A LOFF bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on LOFF, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. As a Financial Services name, LOFF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LOFF-specific events.
LOFF bear put spread positions are structurally moderately 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. LOFF positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LOFF alongside the broader basket even when LOFF-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on LOFF 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 LOFF chain quotes before placing a trade.
