ATKR snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $93.84, ATM IV 163.40%, IV rank 63.81%, expected move 0.75%. The iron condor on ATKR 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 63-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on ATKR specifically: ATKR IV at 163.40% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a ATKR iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 0.75% (roughly $0.70 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ATKR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ATKR should anchor to the underlying notional of $93.84 per share and to the trader's directional view on ATKR stock.
ATKR iron condor setup
The ATKR 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 ATKR at $93.84 on that close, the first option leg uses a $98.53 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ATKR chain at a 63-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 ATKR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ATKR thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ATKR extends from approximately $93.14 on the downside to $94.54 on the upside. A ATKR iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when ATKR 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 ATKR IV rank near 63.81% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on ATKR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, ATKR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ATKR-specific events.
ATKR 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. ATKR positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ATKR alongside the broader basket even when ATKR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on ATKR carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ATKR earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ATKR chain quotes before placing a trade.
