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 TOI snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $5.38, ATM IV 91.00%, IV rank 14.04%, expected move 26.09%. The cash-secured put on TOI 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 TOI specifically: TOI IV at 91.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling TOI cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 26.09% (roughly $1.40 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 TOI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TOI should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.38 per share and to the trader's directional view on TOI stock.

TOI cash-secured put setup

The TOI 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 TOI near $5.38, the first option leg uses a $5.11 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TOI 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 TOI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TOI thesis for this cash-secured put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TOI extends from approximately $3.98 on the downside to $6.78 on the upside. A TOI cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire TOI 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 TOI IV rank near 14.04% 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 TOI at 91.00%. As a Healthcare name, TOI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TOI-specific events.

TOI 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. TOI positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TOI alongside the broader basket even when TOI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on TOI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TOI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TOI chain quotes before placing a trade.
