How are CVCO butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?

Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the CVCO butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 40.80%), the computed maximum profit is $2,270.26 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$680.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a CVCO butterfly?

The breakeven for the CVCO butterfly priced on this page is roughly $596.80 and $643.20 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums.

Current CVCO snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $617.39, ATM IV 40.80%, IV rank 38.04%, expected move 11.70%. The butterfly on CVCO 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 butterfly structure on CVCO specifically: CVCO IV at 40.80% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.70% (roughly $72.22 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 CVCO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CVCO should anchor to the underlying notional of $617.39 per share and to the trader's directional view on CVCO stock.

CVCO butterfly setup

The CVCO butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CVCO near $617.39, the first option leg uses a $590.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CVCO 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 CVCO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$590.00	$38.60
Sell 2	Call	$620.00	$20.65
Buy 1	Call	$650.00	$9.50

When traders use butterfly on CVCO

Butterflies on CVCO are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect CVCO to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.

CVCO thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CVCO extends from approximately $545.17 on the downside to $689.61 on the upside. A CVCO long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if CVCO settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current CVCO IV rank near 38.04% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on CVCO should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, CVCO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CVCO-specific events.

CVCO butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. CVCO positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CVCO alongside the broader basket even when CVCO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CVCO chain quotes before placing a trade.
