What is a butterfly on FNGR?
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 FNGR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $0.83, ATM IV 90.10%, IV rank 17.42%, expected move 25.83%. The butterfly on FNGR 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 FNGR specifically: FNGR IV at 90.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a FNGR butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 25.83% (roughly $0.21 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 FNGR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FNGR should anchor to the underlying notional of $0.83 per share and to the trader's directional view on FNGR stock.
FNGR butterfly setup
The FNGR 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 FNGR near $0.83, the first option leg uses a $0.79 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FNGR 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 FNGR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

FNGR thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FNGR extends from approximately $0.62 on the downside to $1.04 on the upside. A FNGR long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FNGR settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current FNGR IV rank near 17.42% 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 FNGR at 90.10%. As a Communication Services name, FNGR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FNGR-specific events.
FNGR 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. FNGR positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FNGR alongside the broader basket even when FNGR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FNGR chain quotes before placing a trade.
