How are ENTG 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 ENTG butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 82.70%), the computed maximum profit is $839.73 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$95.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a ENTG butterfly?

The breakeven for the ENTG butterfly priced on this page is roughly $170.84 and $189.05 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 ENTG market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 23.71%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current ENTG implied volatility affect this butterfly?

ENTG ATM IV is at 82.70% with IV rank near 74.94%, which is elevated relative to its 1-year range. Premium-selling structures (covered call, cash-secured put, iron condor) generally look more attractive when IV rank is high; premium-buying structures (long call, long put, debit spreads) are more expensive in that regime.

ENTG Butterfly Strategy

ENTG (Entegris, Inc.), in the Technology sector, (Semiconductors industry), listed on NASDAQ.

Entegris, Inc. is a global enterprise that develops, manufactures, and supplies critical solutions for microcontamination control, specialty chemicals, and advanced material handling. The company operates extensively across North America, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Japan, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Its operations are structured into three primary segments: Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM): This division delivers high-performance, ultra-pure process chemistries, specialized gases, and advanced materials, along with their associated delivery systems, crucial for semiconductor fabrication and other sophisticated manufacturing processes. Microcontamination Control (MC): The MC unit focuses on providing systems designed to filter and purify essential liquid chemicals and gases utilized within the semiconductor industry and various other high-technology sectors. Advanced Materials Handling (AMH): This segment creates solutions for the monitoring, protection, transport, and precise delivery of vital liquid chemicals, silicon wafers, and a range of other critical substrates. These offerings support industries such as semiconductors, life sciences, and other high-tech applications.

ENTG (Entegris, Inc.) trades in the Technology sector, specifically Semiconductors, with a market capitalization of approximately $24.59B, a trailing P/E of 92.95, a beta of 1.36 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 67.97-186.94, average daily share volume of 3.1M, a public-listing history dating back to 2000, approximately 8K full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how ENTG stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 1.36 indicates ENTG has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position. The trailing P/E of 92.95 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. ENTG pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

What is a butterfly on ENTG?

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 ENTG snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $181.56, ATM IV 82.70%, IV rank 74.94%, expected move 23.71%. The butterfly on ENTG 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 ENTG specifically: ENTG IV at 82.70% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying ENTG butterfly relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.71% (roughly $43.05 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 ENTG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ENTG should anchor to the underlying notional of $181.56 per share and to the trader's directional view on ENTG stock.

ENTG butterfly setup

The ENTG 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 ENTG near $181.56, the first option leg uses a $170.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ENTG 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 ENTG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$170.00	$18.95
Sell 2	Call	$180.00	$13.70
Buy 1	Call	$190.00	$9.40

When traders use butterfly on ENTG

Butterflies on ENTG are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect ENTG 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.

ENTG thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ENTG extends from approximately $138.51 on the downside to $224.61 on the upside. A ENTG long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if ENTG settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current ENTG IV rank near 74.94% 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 ENTG at 82.70%. As a Technology name, ENTG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ENTG-specific events.

ENTG 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. ENTG positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ENTG alongside the broader basket even when ENTG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ENTG chain quotes before placing a trade.
