What is a straddle on PURR?
A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the strike at expiration.
Current PURR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $7.01, ATM IV 108.10%, expected move 30.99%. The straddle on PURR 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 straddle structure on PURR specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for PURR is inferred from ATM IV at 108.10% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 30.99% (roughly $2.17 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 PURR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PURR should anchor to the underlying notional of $7.01 per share and to the trader's directional view on PURR stock.
PURR straddle setup
The PURR straddle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With PURR near $7.01, the first option leg uses a $7.01 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PURR 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 PURR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Put | $7.01 | N/A |

When traders use straddle on PURR

PURR thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PURR extends from approximately $4.84 on the downside to $9.18 on the upside. A PURR long straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. As a Basic Materials name, PURR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PURR-specific events.
PURR straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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. PURR positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PURR alongside the broader basket even when PURR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PURR chain quotes before placing a trade.
