GNMX snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $38.33, ATM IV 37.10%, IV rank 9.02%, expected move 10.64%. The butterfly on GNMX below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 80-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on GNMX specifically: GNMX IV at 37.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a GNMX butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.64% (roughly $4.08 on the underlying). The 80-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated GNMX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GNMX should anchor to the underlying notional of $38.33 per share and to the trader's directional view on GNMX etf.
GNMX butterfly setup
The GNMX butterfly below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With GNMX at $38.33 on that close, the first option leg uses a $36.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GNMX chain at a 80-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 GNMX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $36.00 | $3.50 |
| Sell 2 | Call | $38.00 | $2.33 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $40.00 | $1.43 |

When traders use butterfly on GNMX
Butterflies on GNMX are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect GNMX 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.
GNMX thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GNMX extends from approximately $34.25 on the downside to $42.41 on the upside. A GNMX long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if GNMX settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current GNMX IV rank near 9.02% 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 GNMX at 37.10%. As a Financial Services name, GNMX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GNMX-specific events.
GNMX 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. GNMX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GNMX alongside the broader basket even when GNMX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current GNMX chain quotes before placing a trade.
