AIBU snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $68.03, ATM IV 45.80%, IV rank 4.40%, expected move 13.13%. The iron condor on AIBU 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 35-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on AIBU specifically: AIBU IV at 45.80% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling AIBU iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.13% (roughly $8.93 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AIBU expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

AIBU iron condor setup

The AIBU iron condor 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 AIBU at $68.03 on that close, the first option leg uses a $70.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AIBU chain at a 35-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 AIBU shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$70.00	$3.03
Buy 1	Call	$75.00	$1.48
Sell 1	Put	$65.00	$2.53
Buy 1	Put	$61.00	$1.55

AIBU thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AIBU extends from approximately $59.10 on the downside to $76.96 on the upside. A AIBU iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AIBU stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current AIBU IV rank near 4.40% 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 AIBU at 45.80%. As a Financial Services name, AIBU options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AIBU-specific events.

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