IHI snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $55.78, ATM IV 20.80%, IV rank 40.39%, expected move 5.96%. The iron condor on IHI 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 IHI specifically: IHI IV at 20.80% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a IHI iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.96% (roughly $3.33 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 IHI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on IHI should anchor to the underlying notional of $55.78 per share and to the trader's directional view on IHI etf.

IHI iron condor setup

The IHI 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 IHI at $55.78 on that close, the first option leg uses a $59.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed IHI 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 IHI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Sell 1	Call	$59.00	$0.38
Buy 1	Call	$60.00	$0.28
Sell 1	Put	$53.00	$0.53
Buy 1	Put	$50.00	$0.10

IHI thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for IHI extends from approximately $52.45 on the downside to $59.11 on the upside. A IHI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when IHI 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 IHI IV rank near 40.39% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on IHI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, IHI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to IHI-specific events.

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