What is a butterfly on GLOB?
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 GLOB snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $39.05, ATM IV 74.30%, IV rank 23.74%, expected move 21.30%. The butterfly on GLOB 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 154-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on GLOB specifically: GLOB IV at 74.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a GLOB butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.30% (roughly $8.32 on the underlying). The 154-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated GLOB expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GLOB should anchor to the underlying notional of $39.05 per share and to the trader's directional view on GLOB stock.
GLOB butterfly setup
The GLOB 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 GLOB near $39.05, the first option leg uses a $37.10 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GLOB chain at a 154-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 GLOB shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $41.00 | N/A |

When traders use butterfly on GLOB
Butterflies on GLOB are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect GLOB to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
GLOB thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GLOB extends from approximately $30.73 on the downside to $47.37 on the upside. A GLOB long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if GLOB settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current GLOB IV rank near 23.74% 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 GLOB at 74.30%. As a Technology name, GLOB options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GLOB-specific events.
GLOB 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. GLOB positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GLOB alongside the broader basket even when GLOB-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current GLOB chain quotes before placing a trade.
