What is a straddle on FIGR?
A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the strike at expiration.
Current FIGR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $43.95, ATM IV 82.06%, IV rank 19.77%, expected move 23.53%. The straddle on FIGR 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 straddle structure on FIGR specifically: FIGR IV at 82.06% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a FIGR straddle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.53% (roughly $10.34 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated FIGR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FIGR should anchor to the underlying notional of $43.95 per share and to the trader's directional view on FIGR stock.
FIGR straddle setup
The FIGR straddle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With FIGR near $43.95, the first option leg uses a $44.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FIGR 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 FIGR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $44.00 | $4.15 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $44.00 | $3.85 |

When traders use straddle on FIGR
Straddles on FIGR are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy FIGR straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.
FIGR thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FIGR extends from approximately $33.61 on the downside to $54.29 on the upside. A FIGR long straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. Current FIGR IV rank near 19.77% 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 FIGR at 82.06%. As a Financial Services name, FIGR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FIGR-specific events.
FIGR straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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. FIGR positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FIGR alongside the broader basket even when FIGR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FIGR chain quotes before placing a trade.
