Current NVDL snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $119.27, ATM IV 94.74%, IV rank 72.22%, expected move 27.16%. The iron condor on NVDL 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 28-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on NVDL specifically: NVDL IV at 94.74% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a NVDL iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 27.16% (roughly $32.40 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated NVDL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

NVDL iron condor setup
The NVDL iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With NVDL near $119.27, the first option leg uses a $125.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed NVDL chain at a 28-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 NVDL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

NVDL thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for NVDL extends from approximately $86.87 on the downside to $151.67 on the upside. A NVDL iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when NVDL 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 NVDL IV rank near 72.22% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on NVDL at 94.74%. As a Financial Services name, NVDL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to NVDL-specific events.
NVDL 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. NVDL positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move NVDL alongside the broader basket even when NVDL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on NVDL carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical NVDL earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current NVDL chain quotes before placing a trade.
