Genworth Financial Inc (NYSE:GNW), ended its Tuesday’s trading session with 0.79% gain, and closed at $7.64.

Genworth Financial Inc (GNW) has lost half its market value in the last year, but one large trade is betting that further declines will be limited.

optionMONSTER’s tracking systems detected the sale of 8,330 December 6 puts in one print for the bid price of $0.23 right out of the gate this morning. This is clearly a new position, as open interest in the strike was just 1,211 contracts before the trade occurred.

The put seller collects the $0.23 premium and is looking for GNW to stay above $6 through expiration in mid-December. If the stock falls below that strike price, the trader will be on the hook to buy shares at that level.

GNW is unchanged at $8 in early trade but down some 53 percent in the last 12 months. The insurance firm gapped up after its last earnings report in late April but has since given up those gains and fallen back into a tight range that has been in place for most of the year.

Genworth Financial, Inc. provides insurance, retirement, and homeownership solutions in the United States and internationally. It operates through U.S. Life Insurance, International Mortgage Insurance, U.S. Mortgage Insurance, International Protection, and Runoff segments.
