BY (Byline Bancorp, Inc.) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Banks - Regional, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.47B, a trailing P/E of 10.40, a beta of 0.75 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 24.75-34.33, average daily share volume of 211K, a public-listing history dating back to 2017, approximately 1K full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how BY stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.75 places BY roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 10.40 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price. BY pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a iron condor on BY?

Current BY snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $32.08, ATM IV 84.20%, IV rank 33.59%, expected move 24.14%. The iron condor on BY 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 iron condor structure on BY specifically: BY IV at 84.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a BY iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 24.14% (roughly $7.74 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 BY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BY should anchor to the underlying notional of $32.08 per share and to the trader's directional view on BY stock.
BY iron condor setup
The BY 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 BY near $32.08, the first option leg uses a $33.68 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BY 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 BY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $35.29 | N/A |

BY thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BY extends from approximately $24.34 on the downside to $39.82 on the upside. A BY iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when BY 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 BY IV rank near 33.59% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on BY should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, BY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BY-specific events.
BY 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. BY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BY alongside the broader basket even when BY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on BY carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical BY earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current BY chain quotes before placing a trade.
