ORRF (Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Banks - Regional, with a market capitalization of approximately $699.5M, a trailing P/E of 8.11, a beta of 0.70 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 29.31-40.72, average daily share volume of 169K, a public-listing history dating back to 1999, approximately 607 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how ORRF stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.70 indicates ORRF has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. The trailing P/E of 8.11 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price. ORRF pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a cash-secured put on ORRF?
A cash-secured put sells an out-of-the-money put while holding cash equal to the strike-times-100 obligation, keeping the premium when the underlying stays above the strike.
Current ORRF snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $35.19, ATM IV 40.50%, IV rank 14.04%, expected move 11.61%. The cash-secured put on ORRF 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 ORRF specifically: ORRF IV at 40.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling ORRF cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.61% (roughly $4.09 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 ORRF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ORRF should anchor to the underlying notional of $35.19 per share and to the trader's directional view on ORRF stock.
ORRF cash-secured put setup
The ORRF 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 ORRF near $35.19, the first option leg uses a $33.43 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ORRF 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 ORRF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ORRF thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ORRF extends from approximately $31.10 on the downside to $39.28 on the upside. A ORRF cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire ORRF 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 ORRF IV rank near 14.04% 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 ORRF at 40.50%. As a Financial Services name, ORRF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ORRF-specific events.
ORRF 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. ORRF positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ORRF alongside the broader basket even when ORRF-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on ORRF carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ORRF earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ORRF chain quotes before placing a trade.
