ARW snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $212.34, ATM IV 35.90%, IV rank 41.50%, expected move 10.29%. The iron condor on ARW below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 ARW specifically: ARW IV at 35.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a ARW iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.29% (roughly $21.85 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 ARW expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

ARW iron condor setup

The ARW iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ARW at $212.34 on that close, the first option leg uses a $220.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARW 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 ARW shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$220.00	$6.20
Buy 1	Call	$230.00	$3.48
Sell 1	Put	$200.00	$4.55
Buy 1	Put	$190.00	$3.20

As a Technology name, ARW options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARW-specific events.

ARW 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. ARW positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARW alongside the broader basket even when ARW-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on ARW carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ARW earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ARW chain quotes before placing a trade.
