TECK bear put spread setup

The TECK bear put spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TECK near $59.49, the first option leg uses a $59.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TECK chain at a 31-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 TECK shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

A TECK bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on TECK, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit.

As a Basic Materials name, TECK options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TECK-specific events.

TECK bear put spread positions are structurally moderately 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. TECK positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TECK alongside the broader basket even when TECK-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on TECK 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.
