Current AOSL snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $45.22, ATM IV 115.30%, IV rank 57.61%, expected move 33.06%. The iron condor on AOSL 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 81-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on AOSL specifically: AOSL IV at 115.30% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a AOSL iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 33.06% (roughly $14.95 on the underlying). The 81-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AOSL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AOSL should anchor to the underlying notional of $45.22 per share and to the trader's directional view on AOSL stock.
AOSL iron condor setup
The AOSL 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 AOSL near $45.22, the first option leg uses a $47.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AOSL chain at a 81-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 AOSL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 1 | Put | $42.50 | $8.40 |

AOSL thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AOSL extends from approximately $30.27 on the downside to $60.17 on the upside. A AOSL iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AOSL 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 AOSL IV rank near 57.61% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on AOSL should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, AOSL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AOSL-specific events.
AOSL 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. AOSL positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AOSL alongside the broader basket even when AOSL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on AOSL carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AOSL earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AOSL chain quotes before placing a trade.
