Current PR snapshot

As of May 14, 2026, spot at $20.27, ATM IV 38.00%, IV rank 28.99%, expected move 10.89%. The long put on PR 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 long put structure on PR specifically: PR IV at 38.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a PR long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.89% (roughly $2.21 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 PR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PR should anchor to the underlying notional of $20.27 per share and to the trader's directional view on PR stock.

PR long put setup

The PR 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 PR near $20.27, the first option leg uses a $20.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PR 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 PR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use long put on PR

Long puts on PR hedge an existing long PR stock position or express a bearish view with defined risk; position sizing typically scales the put notional to the underlying PR exposure being hedged.

PR thesis for this long put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PR extends from approximately $18.06 on the downside to $22.48 on the upside. A PR long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long PR position with one put per 100 shares held. Current PR IV rank near 28.99% 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 PR at 38.00%. As a Energy name, PR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PR-specific events.

PR 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. PR positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PR alongside the broader basket even when PR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on PR 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 PR chain quotes before placing a trade.
