What is a straddle on ARRY?

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.

ARRY snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $5.06, ATM IV 72.50%, IV rank 22.30%, expected move 20.79%. The straddle on ARRY 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 straddle structure on ARRY specifically: ARRY IV at 72.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a ARRY straddle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.79% (roughly $1.05 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 ARRY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARRY should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.06 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARRY stock.

ARRY straddle setup

The ARRY 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 ARRY at $5.06 on that close, the first option leg uses a $5.06 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARRY 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 ARRY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use straddle on ARRY

Straddles on ARRY are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy ARRY straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.

ARRY thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ARRY extends from approximately $4.01 on the downside to $6.11 on the upside. A ARRY 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 ARRY IV rank near 22.30% 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 ARRY at 72.50%. As a Energy name, ARRY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARRY-specific events.

ARRY 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. ARRY positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARRY alongside the broader basket even when ARRY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ARRY chain quotes before placing a trade.

How are ARRY straddle max profit and max loss calculated?
