Current TIGO snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $89.63, ATM IV 52.10%, IV rank 43.37%, expected move 14.94%. The cash-secured put on TIGO 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 80-day expiry.
Why this cash-secured put structure on TIGO specifically: TIGO IV at 52.10% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a TIGO cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.94% (roughly $13.39 on the underlying). The 80-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TIGO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TIGO should anchor to the underlying notional of $89.63 per share and to the trader's directional view on TIGO stock.
TIGO cash-secured put setup
The TIGO 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 TIGO near $89.63, the first option leg uses a $85.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TIGO chain at a 80-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 TIGO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TIGO thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TIGO extends from approximately $76.24 on the downside to $103.02 on the upside. A TIGO cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire TIGO 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 TIGO IV rank near 43.37% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on TIGO should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Communication Services name, TIGO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TIGO-specific events.
TIGO 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. TIGO positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TIGO alongside the broader basket even when TIGO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on TIGO carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TIGO earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TIGO chain quotes before placing a trade.
