What is a straddle on ANGO?
A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the strike at expiration.
Current ANGO snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $10.84, ATM IV 105.10%, IV rank 25.39%, expected move 30.13%. The straddle on ANGO 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 straddle structure on ANGO specifically: ANGO IV at 105.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a ANGO straddle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 30.13% (roughly $3.27 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 ANGO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ANGO should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.84 per share and to the trader's directional view on ANGO stock.
ANGO straddle setup
The ANGO straddle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ANGO near $10.84, the first option leg uses a $10.84 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ANGO 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 ANGO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use straddle on ANGO

ANGO thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ANGO extends from approximately $7.57 on the downside to $14.11 on the upside. A ANGO long straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. Current ANGO IV rank near 25.39% 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 ANGO at 105.10%. As a Healthcare name, ANGO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ANGO-specific events.
ANGO straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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. ANGO positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ANGO alongside the broader basket even when ANGO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ANGO chain quotes before placing a trade.
