FPH (Five Point Holdings, LLC) trades in the Real Estate sector, specifically Real Estate - Development, with a market capitalization of approximately $340.4M, a trailing P/E of 7.60, a beta of 1.35 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 4.72-6.64, average daily share volume of 188K, a public-listing history dating back to 2017, approximately 88 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how FPH stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 1.35 indicates FPH has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position. The trailing P/E of 7.60 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price.
What is a straddle on FPH?
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 FPH snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $4.75, ATM IV 64.40%, IV rank 16.58%, expected move 18.46%. The straddle on FPH 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 straddle structure on FPH specifically: FPH IV at 64.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a FPH straddle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 18.46% (roughly $0.88 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 FPH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FPH should anchor to the underlying notional of $4.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on FPH stock.
FPH straddle setup
The FPH 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 FPH near $4.75, the first option leg uses a $4.75 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FPH 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 FPH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use straddle on FPH

FPH thesis for this straddle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FPH extends from approximately $3.87 on the downside to $5.63 on the upside. A FPH 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 FPH IV rank near 16.58% 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 FPH at 64.40%. As a Real Estate name, FPH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FPH-specific events.
FPH 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. FPH positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FPH alongside the broader basket even when FPH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FPH chain quotes before placing a trade.
