Rexford Industrial, a real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating industrial properties throughout Southern California infill markets, owns 232 properties with approximately 27.9 million rentable square feet and manages an additional 20 properties with approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet.
REXR (Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc.) trades in the Real Estate sector, specifically REIT - Industrial, with a market capitalization of approximately $8.24B, a trailing P/E of 35.03, a beta of 1.24 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 32.14-44.38, average daily share volume of 2.6M, a public-listing history dating back to 2013, approximately 271 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how REXR stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 1.24 places REXR roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 35.03 is on the rich side, which tends to correlate with higher earnings-window IV expansion as the market debates whether forward growth supports the multiple. REXR 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 REXR?
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 REXR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $34.80, ATM IV 27.60%, IV rank 4.33%, expected move 7.91%. The cash-secured put on REXR 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 REXR specifically: REXR IV at 27.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling REXR cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.91% (roughly $2.75 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 REXR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on REXR should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.80 per share and to the trader's directional view on REXR stock.
REXR cash-secured put setup
The REXR 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 REXR near $34.80, the first option leg uses a $33.06 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed REXR 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 REXR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

REXR thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for REXR extends from approximately $32.05 on the downside to $37.55 on the upside. A REXR cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire REXR 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 REXR IV rank near 4.33% 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 REXR at 27.60%. As a Real Estate name, REXR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to REXR-specific events.
REXR 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. REXR positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move REXR alongside the broader basket even when REXR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on REXR carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical REXR earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current REXR chain quotes before placing a trade.
