SEDG snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $32.30, ATM IV 79.33%, IV rank 10.62%, expected move 22.74%. The long put on SEDG below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 28-day expiry.
Why this long put structure on SEDG specifically: SEDG IV at 79.33% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a SEDG long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 22.74% (roughly $7.35 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated SEDG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SEDG should anchor to the underlying notional of $32.30 per share and to the trader's directional view on SEDG stock.
SEDG long put setup
The SEDG long put below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With SEDG at $32.30 on that close, the first option leg uses a $32.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SEDG chain at a 28-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 SEDG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |

SEDG thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SEDG extends from approximately $24.95 on the downside to $39.65 on the upside. A SEDG long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long SEDG position with one put per 100 shares held. Current SEDG IV rank near 10.62% 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 SEDG at 79.33%. As a Energy name, SEDG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SEDG-specific events.
SEDG 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. SEDG positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SEDG alongside the broader basket even when SEDG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on SEDG 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 SEDG chain quotes before placing a trade.
