In finance, a '''put''' or '''put option''' is a stock market device which gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell an asset (the ''underlying''), at a specified price (the ''strike''), by a predetermined date (the ''expiry'' or ''maturity'') to a given party (the ''seller of the put''). Put options are most commonly used in the stock market to protect against the decline of the price of a stock below a specified price. If the price of the stock declines below the specified price of the put option, the owner of the put has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the asset at the specified price, while the seller of the put, has the obligation to purchase the asset at the strike price if the buyer uses the right to do so (the buyer is said to ''exercise the put or put option''). In this way the owner of the put will receive at least the strike price specified even if the asset is worth less.
 
If the strike is ''K'', and at time t the value of the underlying is ''S(t)'', then in an ''[[American option]]'' the buyer can exercise the put for a payout of ''K-S(t)'' any time up until the option's maturity time ''T''. The put yields a positive return only if the spot price falls below the strike when the option is exercised. A ''[[European option]]'' can only be exercised at time ''T'' rather than any time up until ''T'', and a ''[[Bermudan option]]'' can be exercised only on specific dates listed in the terms of the contract. If the option is not exercised by maturity, it expires worthless. (Note that the buyer will not exercise the option at an allowable date if the price of the underlying is greater than ''K''.)
 
The most obvious use of a put is as a type of insurance. In the [[protective put]] strategy, the investor buys enough puts to cover his holdings of the underlying so that if a drastic downward movement of the underlying's price occurs, he has the option to sell the holdings at the strike price. Another use is for speculation: an investor can take a short position in the underlying stock without trading in it directly.
 
Puts may also be combined with other derivatives as part of more complex investment strategies, and in particular, may be useful for [[Hedge (finance)|hedging]]. Note that by [[put-call parity]], a European put can be replaced by buying the appropriate [[call option]] and selling an appropriate [[forward contract]].
 
== Instrument models ==
 
The terms for exercising the option's right to sell it differ depending on [[option style]]. A [[European option|European put option]] allows the holder to exercise the put option for a short period of time right before expiration, while an [[American option|American put option]] allows exercise at any time before expiration.  
 
The most widely-traded put options are on [[stock|stocks/equities]], but they are traded on many other instruments such as [[interest rate]]s (see [[interest rate floor]]) or [[commodities]]. 
 
The put ''buyer'' either believes that the underlying asset's price will fall by the exercise date or hopes to protect a long position in it. The advantage of buying a put over [[Short (finance)|short selling]] the asset is that the option owner's risk of loss is limited to the premium paid for it, whereas the asset short seller's risk of loss is unlimited (its price can rise greatly, in fact, in theory it can rise infinitely, and such a rise is the short seller's loss). The put buyer's prospect (risk) of gain is limited to the option's strike price less the underlying's spot price and the premium/fee paid for it. 
 
The put ''writer'' believes that the underlying security's price will rise, not fall.  The writer sells the put to collect the premium. The put writer's total potential loss is limited to the put's strike price less the spot and premium already received.  Puts can be used also to limit the writer's portfolio risk and may be part of an [[option spread]].
 
The put buyer is short on the underlying asset of the put, but long on the put option itself. That is, the buyer wants the value of the put option to increase by a decline in the price of the underlying asset below the strike price. The writer (seller) of a put is long on the underlying asset and short on the put option itself. That is, the seller wants the option to become worthless by an increase in the price of the underlying asset above the strike price. Generally, a put option that is purchased is referred to as a ''long put'' and a put option that is sold is referred to as a ''short put''.
 
A '''naked put''', also called an ''uncovered put'', is a put option whose writer (the seller) does not have a position in the underlying [[stock]] or other instrument.  This strategy is best used by investors who want to accumulate a position in the underlying stock, but only if the price is low enough.  If the buyer fails to exercise the options, then the writer keeps the option premium as a "gift" for playing the game.
 
If the underlying stock's market price is below the option's [[strike price]] when expiration arrives, the option owner (buyer) can exercise the put option, forcing the writer to buy the underlying stock at the strike price. That allows the exerciser (buyer) to profit from the difference between the stock's market price and the option's strike price. But if the stock's market price is above the option's strike price at the end of expiration day, the option expires worthless, and the owner's loss is limited to the premium (fee) paid for it (the writer's profit).
 
The seller's potential loss on a naked put can be substantial.  If the stock falls all the way to zero (bankruptcy), his loss is equal to the strike price (at which he must buy the stock to cover the option) minus the premium received.  The potential upside is the premium received when selling the option: if the stock price is above the strike price at expiration, the option seller keeps the premium, and the option expires worthless. During the option's lifetime, if the stock moves lower, the option's premium may increase (depending on how far the stock falls and how much time passes).  If it does, it becomes more costly to close the position (repurchase the put, sold earlier), resulting in a loss. If the stock price completely collapses before the put position is closed, the put writer potentially can face catastrophic loss. In order to protect the put buyer from default, the put writer is required to post [[Margin (finance)|margin]]. The put buyer does not need to post margin because the buyer would not exercise the option if it had a negative payoff.
 
==Example of a put option on a stock==

; Buying a put
 
A buyer thinks the price of a stock will decrease. He pays a premium which he will never get back, unless it is sold before it expires. The buyer has the right to sell the stock at the strike price.
 
; Writing a put
The writer receives a premium from the buyer. If the buyer exercises his option, the writer will buy the stock at the strike price. If the buyer does not exercise his option, the writer's profit is the premium.
 
*"Trader A" '''(Put Buyer)''' purchases a put contract to sell 100 shares of XYZ Corp. to "Trader B" '''(Put Writer)''' for $50 per share. The current price is $55 per share, and Trader A pays a premium of $5 per share. If the price of XYZ stock falls to $40 a share right before expiration, then Trader A can exercise the put by buying 100 shares for $4,000 from the stock market, then selling them to Trader B for $5,000.
 
:Trader A's total earnings '''(S)''' can be calculated at $500. The sale of the 100 shares of stock at a strike price of $50 to Trader B = $5,000 '''(P)'''. The purchase of 100 shares of stock at $40 = $4,000 '''(Q)'''. The put option premium paid to trader B for buying the contract of 100 shares at $5 per share, excluding commissions = $500 '''(R)'''. Thus '''S = ( P - Q ) - R = ($5,000 - $4,000 ) - $500 = $500'''.
 
*If, however, the share price never drops below the strike price (in this case, $50), then Trader A would not exercise the option (because selling a stock to Trader B at $50 would cost Trader A more than that to buy it). Trader A's option would be worthless and he would have lost the whole investment, the fee (premium) for the option contract, $500 ($5 per share, 100 shares per contract). Trader A's total loss is limited to the cost of the put premium plus the sales commission to buy it.
 
A put option is said to have [[intrinsic value (finance)|intrinsic value]] when the underlying instrument has a [[spot price]] ('''S''') ''below'' the option's strike price ('''K'''). Upon exercise, a put option is valued at K-S if it is "[[in-the-money]]", otherwise its value is zero. Prior to exercise, an option has time value apart from its intrinsic value. The following factors reduce the time value of a put option: shortening of the time to expire, decrease in the [[Volatility (finance)|volatility]] of the underlying, and increase of interest rates. [[Valuation of options|Option pricing]] is a central problem of [[financial mathematics]].
 
==Payoff of a put==
These examples lead to the following formal reasoning. Fix <math>\mathcal{O}</math> an underlying financial instrument.
Let <math>\Pi</math> be a put option for this instrument, purchased at time <math>0</math>, expiring at time <math>T\in\mathbb{R}^{+}</math>, with exercise (strike) price of <math>K\in\mathbb{R}</math>; and let <math>S:[0,T]\to\mathbb{R}</math> be the price of the underlying instrument.
 
Assume the owner of the option <math>\Pi</math>, wants to not take a loss, and does not want to actually possess the underlying instrument, <math>\mathcal{O}</math>.
Then either (i) the person will purchase <math>\mathcal{O}</math> at expiry, and then immediately exercise the selling option;
or (ii) the person will not exercise the option (which subsequently becomes worthless).
 
In (i), the pay-off would be <math>-S_{T}+K</math>; in (ii) the pay-off would be <math>0</math>. So if <math>K-S_{T}\geq 0</math> (i) or (ii) occurs; if <math>K-S_{T}<0</math> then (ii) occurs.
 
Hence the pay-off, ''i.e.'' the value of the put option at expiry, is
 
{{NumBlk|1=.|2=<math>\operatorname{max}\{K-S_{T},0\}</math>|3=|RawN=.}}
 
which is alternatively written <math>(K-S_{T})\vee 0</math> or <math>(K-S_{T})^{+}</math>.
