What is the breakeven for a THO long put?

The breakeven for the THO long put priced on this page is roughly $69.60 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current THO market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 16.26%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

THO ATM IV is at 56.70% with IV rank near 76.64%, which is elevated relative to its 1-year range.

Current THO snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $74.08, ATM IV 56.70%, IV rank 76.64%, expected move 16.26%. The long put on THO 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 long put structure on THO specifically: THO IV at 56.70% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying THO long put relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.26% (roughly $12.04 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 THO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on THO should anchor to the underlying notional of $74.08 per share and to the trader's directional view on THO stock.

THO long put setup

The THO long 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 THO near $74.08, the first option leg uses a $75.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed THO 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 THO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Long puts on THO hedge an existing long THO stock position or express a bearish view with defined risk; position sizing typically scales the put notional to the underlying THO exposure being hedged.

THO thesis for this long put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for THO extends from approximately $62.04 on the downside to $86.12 on the upside. A THO long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long THO position with one put per 100 shares held. Current THO IV rank near 76.64% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on THO at 56.70%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, THO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to THO-specific events.

THO 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. THO positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move THO alongside the broader basket even when THO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on THO 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 THO chain quotes before placing a trade.
