Current OGN snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $13.39, ATM IV 3.80%, IV rank 0.57%, expected move 1.09%. The long put on OGN 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 63-day expiry.
Why this long put structure on OGN specifically: OGN IV at 3.80% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a OGN long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 1.09% (roughly $0.15 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated OGN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OGN should anchor to the underlying notional of $13.39 per share and to the trader's directional view on OGN stock.
OGN long put setup
The OGN long 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 OGN near $13.39, the first option leg uses a $13.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OGN chain at a 63-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 OGN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use long put on OGN
Long puts on OGN hedge an existing long OGN stock position or express a bearish view with defined risk; position sizing typically scales the put notional to the underlying OGN exposure being hedged.
OGN thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OGN extends from approximately $13.24 on the downside to $13.54 on the upside. A OGN long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long OGN position with one put per 100 shares held. Current OGN IV rank near 0.57% 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 OGN at 3.80%. As a Healthcare name, OGN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OGN-specific events.
OGN long put positions are structurally 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. OGN positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OGN alongside the broader basket even when OGN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on OGN 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 OGN chain quotes before placing a trade.
