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 FWONA snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $87.32, ATM IV 410.30%, IV rank 82.19%, expected move 117.63%. The butterfly on FWONA 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 17-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on FWONA specifically: FWONA IV at 410.30% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying FWONA butterfly relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 117.63% (roughly $102.71 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated FWONA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FWONA should anchor to the underlying notional of $87.32 per share and to the trader's directional view on FWONA stock.
FWONA butterfly setup
The FWONA 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 FWONA near $87.32, the first option leg uses a $82.95 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FWONA chain at a 17-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 FWONA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

FWONA thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FWONA extends from approximately $-15.39 on the downside to $190.03 on the upside. A FWONA long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FWONA settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current FWONA IV rank near 82.19% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on FWONA at 410.30%. As a Communication Services name, FWONA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FWONA-specific events.
FWONA 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. FWONA positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FWONA alongside the broader basket even when FWONA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FWONA chain quotes before placing a trade.
