Current MRAM snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $37.44, ATM IV 144.20%, IV rank 47.70%, expected move 41.34%. The cash-secured put on MRAM 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 cash-secured put structure on MRAM specifically: MRAM IV at 144.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a MRAM cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 41.34% (roughly $15.48 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 MRAM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MRAM should anchor to the underlying notional of $37.44 per share and to the trader's directional view on MRAM stock.

MRAM cash-secured put setup

The MRAM 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 MRAM near $37.44, the first option leg uses a $35.57 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MRAM 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 MRAM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

MRAM thesis for this cash-secured put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MRAM extends from approximately $21.96 on the downside to $52.92 on the upside. A MRAM cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire MRAM 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 MRAM IV rank near 47.70% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on MRAM should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, MRAM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MRAM-specific events.

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