Current CON snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $25.95, ATM IV 36.50%, IV rank 7.05%, expected move 10.46%. The iron condor on CON 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 CON specifically: CON IV at 36.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CON iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.46% (roughly $2.72 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 CON expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CON should anchor to the underlying notional of $25.95 per share and to the trader's directional view on CON stock.
CON iron condor setup
The CON 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 CON near $25.95, the first option leg uses a $27.25 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CON 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 CON shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $28.55 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $24.65 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $23.36 | N/A |

CON thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CON extends from approximately $23.23 on the downside to $28.67 on the upside. A CON iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CON 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 CON IV rank near 7.05% 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 CON at 36.50%. As a Healthcare name, CON options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CON-specific events.
CON 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. CON positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CON alongside the broader basket even when CON-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CON carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CON earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CON chain quotes before placing a trade.
