A cash-secured put sells an out-of-the-money put while holding cash equal to the strike-times-100 obligation, keeping the premium when the underlying stays above the strike.
Current THRY snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $3.95, ATM IV 20.40%, IV rank 0.05%, expected move 5.85%. The cash-secured put on THRY 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 17-day expiry.
Why this cash-secured put structure on THRY specifically: THRY IV at 20.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling THRY cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.85% (roughly $0.23 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated THRY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on THRY should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.95 per share and to the trader's directional view on THRY stock.
THRY cash-secured put setup
The THRY 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 THRY near $3.95, the first option leg uses a $3.75 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed THRY chain at a 17-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 THRY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

THRY thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for THRY extends from approximately $3.72 on the downside to $4.18 on the upside. A THRY cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire THRY 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 THRY IV rank near 0.05% 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 THRY at 20.40%. As a Communication Services name, THRY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to THRY-specific events.
THRY 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. THRY positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move THRY alongside the broader basket even when THRY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on THRY carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical THRY earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current THRY chain quotes before placing a trade.
