What is a long put on THR?
A long put buys downside exposure with a fixed maximum loss equal to the premium paid; profit accrues if the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration.
Current THR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $65.34, ATM IV 45.60%, IV rank 18.48%, expected move 13.07%. The long put on THR 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 THR specifically: THR IV at 45.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a THR long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.07% (roughly $8.54 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 THR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on THR should anchor to the underlying notional of $65.34 per share and to the trader's directional view on THR stock.
THR long put setup
The THR 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 THR near $65.34, the first option leg uses a $65.34 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed THR 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 THR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

THR thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for THR extends from approximately $56.80 on the downside to $73.88 on the upside. A THR long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long THR position with one put per 100 shares held. Current THR IV rank near 18.48% 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 THR at 45.60%. As a Industrials name, THR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to THR-specific events.
THR 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. THR positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move THR alongside the broader basket even when THR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on THR 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 THR chain quotes before placing a trade.
