Current EOLS snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $6.55, ATM IV 72.40%, IV rank 26.96%, expected move 20.76%. The iron condor on EOLS 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 EOLS specifically: EOLS IV at 72.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling EOLS iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.76% (roughly $1.36 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 EOLS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on EOLS should anchor to the underlying notional of $6.55 per share and to the trader's directional view on EOLS stock.
EOLS iron condor setup
The EOLS 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 EOLS near $6.55, the first option leg uses a $6.88 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed EOLS 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 EOLS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $7.21 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $6.22 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $5.90 | N/A |

EOLS thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for EOLS extends from approximately $5.19 on the downside to $7.91 on the upside. A EOLS iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when EOLS 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 EOLS IV rank near 26.96% 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 EOLS at 72.40%. As a Healthcare name, EOLS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to EOLS-specific events.
EOLS 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. EOLS positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move EOLS alongside the broader basket even when EOLS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on EOLS carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical EOLS earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current EOLS chain quotes before placing a trade.
