WNTR iron condor setup

The WNTR 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 WNTR at $26.50 on that close, the first option leg uses a $28.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WNTR 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 WNTR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$28.00	$0.63
Buy 1	Call	$29.00	$0.29
Sell 1	Put	$25.00	$1.30
Buy 1	Put	$24.00	$0.78

WNTR thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WNTR extends from approximately $23.19 on the downside to $29.81 on the upside. A WNTR iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when WNTR 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 WNTR IV rank near 6.15% 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 WNTR at 43.60%. As a Financial Services name, WNTR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WNTR-specific events.

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