As of May 15, 2026, spot at $136.40, ATM IV 51.40%, IV rank 12.11%, expected move 14.74%. The iron condor on EAT 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 EAT specifically: EAT IV at 51.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling EAT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.74% (roughly $20.10 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 EAT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

EAT iron condor setup

The EAT 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 EAT near $136.40, the first option leg uses a $145.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed EAT 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 EAT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Sell 1	Call	$145.00	$5.05
Buy 1	Call	$150.00	$3.45
Sell 1	Put	$130.00	$5.35
Buy 1	Put	$125.00	$3.55

EAT thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for EAT extends from approximately $116.30 on the downside to $156.50 on the upside. A EAT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when EAT 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 EAT IV rank near 12.11% 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 EAT at 51.40%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, EAT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to EAT-specific events.

EAT 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. EAT positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move EAT alongside the broader basket even when EAT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on EAT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical EAT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current EAT chain quotes before placing a trade.
