Current OPRT snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $5.27, ATM IV 76.30%, IV rank 14.91%, expected move 21.87%. The cash-secured put on OPRT 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 OPRT specifically: OPRT IV at 76.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling OPRT cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.87% (roughly $1.15 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 OPRT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OPRT should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.27 per share and to the trader's directional view on OPRT stock.
OPRT cash-secured put setup
The OPRT 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 OPRT near $5.27, the first option leg uses a $5.01 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OPRT 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 OPRT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

OPRT thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OPRT extends from approximately $4.12 on the downside to $6.42 on the upside. A OPRT cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire OPRT 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 OPRT IV rank near 14.91% 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 OPRT at 76.30%. As a Financial Services name, OPRT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OPRT-specific events.
OPRT 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. OPRT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OPRT alongside the broader basket even when OPRT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on OPRT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical OPRT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current OPRT chain quotes before placing a trade.
