What is a butterfly on ARXS?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current ARXS snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $34.73, ATM IV 54.10%, expected move 15.51%. The butterfly on ARXS 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 butterfly structure on ARXS specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ARXS is inferred from ATM IV at 54.10% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.51% (roughly $5.39 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 ARXS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARXS should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARXS stock.
ARXS butterfly setup
The ARXS butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ARXS near $34.73, the first option leg uses a $32.99 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARXS 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 ARXS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on ARXS
Butterflies on ARXS are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect ARXS to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
ARXS thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ARXS extends from approximately $29.34 on the downside to $40.12 on the upside. A ARXS long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if ARXS settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Industrials name, ARXS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARXS-specific events.
ARXS butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. ARXS positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARXS alongside the broader basket even when ARXS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ARXS chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on ARXS?
- A butterfly on ARXS is the butterfly strategy applied to ARXS (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration. With ARXS stock trading near $34.73, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed ARXS chain strike and the premiums come straight from the end-of-day bid/ask midpoint.
- How are ARXS butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the ARXS butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 54.10%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a ARXS butterfly?
- The breakeven for the ARXS butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current ARXS market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 15.51%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
