Current RGC snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $28.75, ATM IV 129.60%, IV rank 30.66%, expected move 37.16%. The cash-secured put on RGC 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 RGC specifically: RGC IV at 129.60% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a RGC cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 37.16% (roughly $10.68 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 RGC expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RGC should anchor to the underlying notional of $28.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on RGC stock.
RGC cash-secured put setup
The RGC 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 RGC near $28.75, the first option leg uses a $27.31 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RGC 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 RGC shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RGC thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RGC extends from approximately $18.07 on the downside to $39.43 on the upside. A RGC cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire RGC 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 RGC IV rank near 30.66% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on RGC should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, RGC options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RGC-specific events.
RGC 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. RGC positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RGC alongside the broader basket even when RGC-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on RGC carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical RGC earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current RGC chain quotes before placing a trade.
