What is a butterfly on KRMA?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current KRMA snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $46.66, ATM IV 16.60%, IV rank 0.29%, expected move 4.76%. The butterfly on KRMA below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on KRMA specifically: KRMA IV at 16.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a KRMA butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 4.76% (roughly $2.22 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated KRMA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on KRMA should anchor to the underlying notional of $46.66 per share and to the trader's directional view on KRMA etf.
KRMA butterfly setup
The KRMA butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With KRMA near $46.66, the first option leg uses a $44.33 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed KRMA chain at a 34-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 KRMA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on KRMA
Butterflies on KRMA are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect KRMA 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.
KRMA thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for KRMA extends from approximately $44.44 on the downside to $48.88 on the upside. A KRMA long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if KRMA settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current KRMA IV rank near 0.29% 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 KRMA at 16.60%. As a Financial Services name, KRMA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to KRMA-specific events.
KRMA 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. KRMA positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move KRMA alongside the broader basket even when KRMA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current KRMA chain quotes before placing a trade.
