AEG snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $9.46, ATM IV 9.90%, IV rank 2.50%, expected move 2.84%. The iron condor on AEG below is built from the 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 iron condor structure on AEG specifically: AEG IV at 9.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling AEG iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 2.84% (roughly $0.27 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 AEG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AEG should anchor to the underlying notional of $9.46 per share and to the trader's directional view on AEG stock.
AEG iron condor setup
The AEG 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 AEG at $9.46 on that close, the first option leg uses a $9.93 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AEG 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 AEG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $10.41 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $8.99 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $8.51 | N/A |

AEG thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AEG extends from approximately $9.19 on the downside to $9.73 on the upside. A AEG iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AEG 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 AEG IV rank near 2.50% 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 AEG at 9.90%. As a Financial Services name, AEG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AEG-specific events.
AEG 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. AEG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AEG alongside the broader basket even when AEG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on AEG carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AEG earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AEG chain quotes before placing a trade.
