Current CBRE snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $134.90, ATM IV 34.80%, IV rank 36.90%, expected move 9.98%. The iron condor on CBRE 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 17-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on CBRE specifically: CBRE IV at 34.80% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a CBRE iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.98% (roughly $13.46 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CBRE expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CBRE should anchor to the underlying notional of $134.90 per share and to the trader's directional view on CBRE stock.
CBRE iron condor setup
The CBRE 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 CBRE near $134.90, the first option leg uses a $140.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CBRE chain at a 17-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 CBRE shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CBRE thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CBRE extends from approximately $121.44 on the downside to $148.36 on the upside. A CBRE iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CBRE 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 CBRE IV rank near 36.90% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on CBRE should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Real Estate name, CBRE options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CBRE-specific events.
CBRE 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. CBRE positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CBRE alongside the broader basket even when CBRE-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CBRE carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CBRE earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CBRE chain quotes before placing a trade.
