AYA snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $25.84, ATM IV 73.90%, IV rank 63.47%, expected move 21.19%. The iron condor on AYA 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 iron condor structure on AYA specifically: AYA IV at 73.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a AYA iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.19% (roughly $5.47 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 AYA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AYA should anchor to the underlying notional of $25.84 per share and to the trader's directional view on AYA stock.
AYA iron condor setup
The AYA 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 AYA at $25.84 on that close, the first option leg uses a $27.13 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AYA 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 AYA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AYA thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AYA extends from approximately $20.37 on the downside to $31.31 on the upside. A AYA iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AYA 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 AYA IV rank near 63.47% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on AYA should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Basic Materials name, AYA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AYA-specific events.
AYA 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. AYA positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AYA alongside the broader basket even when AYA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on AYA carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AYA earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AYA chain quotes before placing a trade.
