Current GLUE snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $24.23, ATM IV 107.10%, IV rank 23.79%, expected move 30.70%. The iron condor on GLUE 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 iron condor structure on GLUE specifically: GLUE IV at 107.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling GLUE iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 30.70% (roughly $7.44 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 GLUE expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GLUE should anchor to the underlying notional of $24.23 per share and to the trader's directional view on GLUE stock.
GLUE iron condor setup
The GLUE 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 GLUE near $24.23, the first option leg uses a $25.44 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GLUE 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 GLUE shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

GLUE thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GLUE extends from approximately $16.79 on the downside to $31.67 on the upside. A GLUE iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when GLUE 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 GLUE IV rank near 23.79% 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 GLUE at 107.10%. As a Healthcare name, GLUE options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GLUE-specific events.
GLUE 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. GLUE positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GLUE alongside the broader basket even when GLUE-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on GLUE carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical GLUE earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current GLUE chain quotes before placing a trade.
