FISV snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $54.42, ATM IV 38.40%, IV rank 24.99%, expected move 11.01%. The iron condor on FISV below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 FISV specifically: FISV IV at 38.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling FISV iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.01% (roughly $5.99 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 FISV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FISV should anchor to the underlying notional of $54.42 per share and to the trader's directional view on FISV stock.

FISV iron condor setup

The FISV iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With FISV at $54.42 on that close, the first option leg uses a $57.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FISV 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 FISV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Sell 1	Call	$57.00	$1.23
Buy 1	Call	$60.00	$0.55
Sell 1	Put	$52.00	$1.13

FISV thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FISV extends from approximately $48.43 on the downside to $60.41 on the upside. A FISV iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when FISV 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 FISV IV rank near 24.99% 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 FISV at 38.40%. As a Technology name, FISV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FISV-specific events.

FISV 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. FISV positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FISV alongside the broader basket even when FISV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on FISV carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical FISV earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current FISV chain quotes before placing a trade.
