These structural characteristics shape how CXM stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.59 indicates CXM has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. The trailing P/E of 43.31 is on the rich side, which tends to correlate with higher earnings-window IV expansion as the market debates whether forward growth supports the multiple.
What is a butterfly on CXM?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current CXM snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $5.20, ATM IV 49.60%, IV rank 6.73%, expected move 14.22%. The butterfly on CXM 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 CXM specifically: CXM IV at 49.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a CXM butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.22% (roughly $0.74 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 CXM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CXM should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.20 per share and to the trader's directional view on CXM stock.
CXM butterfly setup
The CXM 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 CXM near $5.20, the first option leg uses a $4.94 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CXM 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 CXM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $4.94 | N/A |
| Sell 2 | Call | $5.20 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Call | $5.46 | N/A |

CXM thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CXM extends from approximately $4.46 on the downside to $5.94 on the upside. A CXM long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if CXM settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current CXM IV rank near 6.73% 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 CXM at 49.60%. As a Technology name, CXM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CXM-specific events.
CXM 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. CXM positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CXM alongside the broader basket even when CXM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CXM chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on CXM?

With CXM stock trading near $5.20, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed CXM chain strike and the premiums come straight from the end-of-day bid/ask midpoint.
- How are CXM 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.

Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a CXM butterfly?
- The breakeven for the CXM butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current CXM market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 14.22%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
