Current CIGI snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $92.73, ATM IV 36.60%, IV rank 5.59%, expected move 10.49%. The iron condor on CIGI 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 CIGI specifically: CIGI IV at 36.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CIGI iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.49% (roughly $9.73 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 CIGI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CIGI should anchor to the underlying notional of $92.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on CIGI stock.
CIGI iron condor setup
The CIGI 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 CIGI near $92.73, the first option leg uses a $95.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CIGI 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 CIGI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $95.00 | $2.95 |

CIGI thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CIGI extends from approximately $83.00 on the downside to $102.46 on the upside. A CIGI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CIGI 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 CIGI IV rank near 5.59% 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 CIGI at 36.60%. As a Real Estate name, CIGI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CIGI-specific events.
CIGI 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. CIGI positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CIGI alongside the broader basket even when CIGI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CIGI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CIGI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CIGI chain quotes before placing a trade.
