PONX snapshot

As of September 29, 2026, spot at $12.66, ATM IV 130.70%, IV rank 23.18%, expected move 37.47%. The iron condor on PONX 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.

PONX iron condor setup

The PONX iron condor 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 PONX at $12.66 on that close, the first option leg uses a $13.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PONX 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 PONX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Sell 1	Call	$13.00	$3.23
Buy 1	Call	$14.00	$2.98
Sell 1	Put	$12.00	$2.73
Buy 1	Put	$11.00	$2.20

PONX thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PONX extends from approximately $7.92 on the downside to $17.40 on the upside. A PONX iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when PONX 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 PONX IV rank near 23.18% 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 PONX at 130.70%. As a Financial Services name, PONX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PONX-specific events.

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