CBAT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $0.72, ATM IV 24.00%, IV rank 4.35%, expected move 6.88%. The iron condor on CBAT 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 CBAT specifically: CBAT IV at 24.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CBAT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.88% (roughly $0.05 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 CBAT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CBAT should anchor to the underlying notional of $0.72 per share and to the trader's directional view on CBAT stock.
CBAT iron condor setup
The CBAT 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 CBAT at $0.72 on that close, the first option leg uses a $0.76 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CBAT 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 CBAT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $0.79 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $0.68 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $0.65 | N/A |

CBAT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CBAT extends from approximately $0.67 on the downside to $0.77 on the upside. A CBAT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CBAT 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 CBAT IV rank near 4.35% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on CBAT at 24.00%. As a Industrials name, CBAT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CBAT-specific events.
CBAT 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. CBAT positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CBAT alongside the broader basket even when CBAT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CBAT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CBAT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CBAT chain quotes before placing a trade.
