What is a straddle on PUSA?

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.

PUSA snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $3.73, ATM IV 25.70%, expected move 7.37%. The straddle on PUSA below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this straddle structure on PUSA specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for PUSA is inferred from ATM IV at 25.70% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.37% (roughly $0.27 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PUSA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PUSA should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on PUSA stock.

PUSA straddle setup

The PUSA 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 PUSA at $3.73 on that close, the first option leg uses a $3.73 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PUSA chain at a 35-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 PUSA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PUSA thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PUSA extends from approximately $3.46 on the downside to $4.00 on the upside. A PUSA 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 Consumer Cyclical name, PUSA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PUSA-specific events.

PUSA 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. PUSA positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PUSA alongside the broader basket even when PUSA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PUSA chain quotes before placing a trade.
