As of May 15, 2026, spot at $53.34, ATM IV 96.22%, IV rank 88.98%, expected move 27.59%. The iron condor on ENPH 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 28-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on ENPH specifically: ENPH IV at 96.22% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a ENPH iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 27.59% (roughly $14.71 on the underlying).

ENPH iron condor setup
The ENPH 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 ENPH near $53.34, the first option leg uses a $55.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ENPH chain at a 28-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 ENPH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ENPH thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ENPH extends from approximately $38.63 on the downside to $68.05 on the upside. A ENPH iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when ENPH 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 ENPH IV rank near 88.98% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on ENPH at 96.22%. As a Energy name, ENPH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ENPH-specific events.
ENPH 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. ENPH positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ENPH alongside the broader basket even when ENPH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on ENPH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ENPH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ENPH chain quotes before placing a trade.
