As of May 15, 2026, spot at $56.55, ATM IV 31.50%, IV rank 3.71%, expected move 9.03%. The iron condor on GIL 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 iron condor structure on GIL specifically: GIL IV at 31.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling GIL iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.03% (roughly $5.11 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 GIL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

GIL iron condor setup

The GIL iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With GIL near $56.55, the first option leg uses a $60.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GIL 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 GIL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$60.00	$0.95
Buy 1	Call	$62.50	$0.43
Sell 1	Put	$52.50	$1.03
Buy 1	Put	$50.00	$1.05

GIL thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GIL extends from approximately $51.44 on the downside to $61.66 on the upside. A GIL iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when GIL 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 GIL IV rank near 3.71% 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 GIL at 31.50%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, GIL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GIL-specific events.

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