CHD snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $101.20, ATM IV 20.70%, IV rank 2.66%, expected move 5.93%. The iron condor on CHD 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 7-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on CHD specifically: CHD IV at 20.70% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CHD iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.93% (roughly $6.01 on the underlying). The 7-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CHD expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CHD should anchor to the underlying notional of $101.20 per share and to the trader's directional view on CHD stock.
CHD iron condor setup
The CHD 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 CHD at $101.20 on that close, the first option leg uses a $106.26 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CHD chain at a 7-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 CHD shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CHD thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CHD extends from approximately $95.19 on the downside to $107.21 on the upside. A CHD iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CHD 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 CHD IV rank near 2.66% 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 CHD at 20.70%. As a Consumer Defensive name, CHD options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CHD-specific events.
CHD 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. CHD positions also carry Consumer Defensive sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CHD alongside the broader basket even when CHD-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CHD carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CHD earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CHD chain quotes before placing a trade.
