Current AIRO snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $6.39, ATM IV 103.60%, IV rank 52.02%, expected move 29.70%. The iron condor on AIRO 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 iron condor structure on AIRO specifically: AIRO IV at 103.60% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a AIRO iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 29.70% (roughly $1.90 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 AIRO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AIRO should anchor to the underlying notional of $6.39 per share and to the trader's directional view on AIRO stock.
AIRO iron condor setup
The AIRO 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 AIRO near $6.39, the first option leg uses a $6.71 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AIRO 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 AIRO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AIRO thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AIRO extends from approximately $4.49 on the downside to $8.29 on the upside. A AIRO iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AIRO 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 AIRO IV rank near 52.02% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on AIRO should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, AIRO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AIRO-specific events.
AIRO 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. AIRO positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AIRO alongside the broader basket even when AIRO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on AIRO carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AIRO earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AIRO chain quotes before placing a trade.
