Current GT snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $6.61, ATM IV 21.00%, IV rank 1.02%, expected move 6.02%. The iron condor on GT 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 18-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on GT specifically: GT IV at 21.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling GT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.02% (roughly $0.40 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated GT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GT should anchor to the underlying notional of $6.61 per share and to the trader's directional view on GT stock.
GT iron condor setup
The GT 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 GT near $6.61, the first option leg uses a $6.94 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GT chain at a 18-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 GT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $7.27 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $6.28 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $5.95 | N/A |

GT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GT extends from approximately $6.21 on the downside to $7.01 on the upside. A GT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when GT 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 GT IV rank near 1.02% 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 GT at 21.00%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, GT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GT-specific events.
GT 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. GT positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GT alongside the broader basket even when GT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on GT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical GT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current GT chain quotes before placing a trade.
