WYNN snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $102.57, ATM IV 28.60%, IV rank 1.04%, expected move 8.20%. The bear put spread on WYNN below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 28-day expiry.
Why this bear put spread structure on WYNN specifically: WYNN IV at 28.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a WYNN bear put spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.20% (roughly $8.41 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated WYNN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WYNN should anchor to the underlying notional of $102.57 per share and to the trader's directional view on WYNN stock.
WYNN bear put spread setup
The WYNN bear put spread below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With WYNN at $102.57 on that close, the first option leg uses a $103.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WYNN chain at a 28-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 WYNN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Put | $103.00 | $3.40 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $97.00 | $1.23 |

WYNN thesis for this bear put spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WYNN extends from approximately $94.16 on the downside to $110.98 on the upside. A WYNN bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on WYNN, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current WYNN IV rank near 1.04% 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 WYNN at 28.60%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, WYNN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WYNN-specific events.
WYNN bear put spread positions are structurally moderately 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. WYNN positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move WYNN alongside the broader basket even when WYNN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on WYNN 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 WYNN chain quotes before placing a trade.
