Current MMED snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $10.94, ATM IV 74.20%, expected move 21.27%. The bear put spread on MMED 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 bear put spread structure on MMED specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for MMED is inferred from ATM IV at 74.20% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.27% (roughly $2.33 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 MMED expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MMED should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.94 per share and to the trader's directional view on MMED stock.
MMED bear put spread setup
The MMED bear put spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With MMED near $10.94, the first option leg uses a $10.94 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MMED 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 MMED shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

MMED thesis for this bear put spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MMED extends from approximately $8.61 on the downside to $13.27 on the upside. A MMED bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on MMED, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. As a Healthcare name, MMED options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MMED-specific events.
MMED 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. MMED positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MMED alongside the broader basket even when MMED-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on MMED 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.
