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 FBIN snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $34.43, ATM IV 53.10%, IV rank 10.32%, expected move 15.22%. The butterfly on FBIN 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 butterfly structure on FBIN specifically: FBIN IV at 53.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a FBIN butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.22% (roughly $5.24 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 FBIN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FBIN should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.43 per share and to the trader's directional view on FBIN stock.
FBIN butterfly setup
The FBIN 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 FBIN near $34.43, the first option leg uses a $32.71 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FBIN 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 FBIN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on FBIN
Butterflies on FBIN are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect FBIN 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.
FBIN thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FBIN extends from approximately $29.19 on the downside to $39.67 on the upside. A FBIN long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FBIN settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current FBIN IV rank near 10.32% 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 FBIN at 53.10%. As a Industrials name, FBIN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FBIN-specific events.
FBIN 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. FBIN positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FBIN alongside the broader basket even when FBIN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FBIN chain quotes before placing a trade.
