How are KNCT butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?

For the KNCT butterfly priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 28.30%), the computed maximum profit is $744.16 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$222.50 per contract.

KNCT snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $200.67, ATM IV 28.30%, IV rank 31.83%, expected move 8.11%. The butterfly on KNCT 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 butterfly structure on KNCT specifically: KNCT IV at 28.30% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.11% (roughly $16.28 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 KNCT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on KNCT should anchor to the underlying notional of $200.67 per share and to the trader's directional view on KNCT etf.

KNCT butterfly setup

The KNCT butterfly 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 KNCT at $200.67 on that close, the first option leg uses a $191.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed KNCT 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 KNCT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 1	Call	$191.00	$14.25
Sell 2	Call	$200.00	$8.50
Buy 1	Call	$210.00	$3.98

When traders use butterfly on KNCT

Butterflies on KNCT are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect KNCT 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.

KNCT thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for KNCT extends from approximately $184.39 on the downside to $216.95 on the upside. A KNCT long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if KNCT settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current KNCT IV rank near 31.83% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on KNCT should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, KNCT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to KNCT-specific events.

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