FNCL snapshot

As of November 13, 2026, spot at $82.28. The butterfly on FNCL below is built from the November 13, 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 butterfly structure on FNCL specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for FNCL is inferred from ATM IV alone. The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated FNCL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FNCL should anchor to the underlying notional of $82.28 per share and to the trader's directional view on FNCL etf.

FNCL butterfly setup

The FNCL butterfly below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With FNCL at $82.28 on that close, the first option leg uses a $78.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FNCL 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 FNCL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$78.00	$4.75
Sell 2	Call	$82.00	$1.80
Buy 1	Call	$86.00	$0.48

When traders use butterfly on FNCL

Butterflies on FNCL are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect FNCL to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.

FNCL thesis for this butterfly

A FNCL long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FNCL settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, FNCL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FNCL-specific events.

FNCL butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. FNCL positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FNCL alongside the broader basket even when FNCL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FNCL chain quotes before placing a trade.
