Current NMRK snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $15.21, ATM IV 435.10%, IV rank 93.35%, expected move 124.74%. The bear put spread on NMRK 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 18-day expiry.
Why this bear put spread structure on NMRK specifically: NMRK IV at 435.10% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying NMRK bear put spread relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 124.74% (roughly $18.97 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated NMRK expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on NMRK should anchor to the underlying notional of $15.21 per share and to the trader's directional view on NMRK stock.
NMRK bear put spread setup
The NMRK 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 NMRK near $15.21, the first option leg uses a $15.21 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed NMRK chain at a 18-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 NMRK shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

NMRK thesis for this bear put spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for NMRK extends from approximately $-3.76 on the downside to $34.18 on the upside. A NMRK bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on NMRK, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current NMRK IV rank near 93.35% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on NMRK at 435.10%. As a Real Estate name, NMRK options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to NMRK-specific events.
NMRK 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. NMRK positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move NMRK alongside the broader basket even when NMRK-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on NMRK 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.
