HIMS snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $28.40, ATM IV 63.01%, IV rank 5.16%, expected move 18.06%. The iron condor on HIMS below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 28-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on HIMS specifically: HIMS IV at 63.01% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling HIMS iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 18.06% (roughly $5.13 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated HIMS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on HIMS should anchor to the underlying notional of $28.40 per share and to the trader's directional view on HIMS stock.

HIMS iron condor setup

The HIMS iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With HIMS at $28.40 on that close, the first option leg uses a $30.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed HIMS chain at a 28-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 HIMS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

HIMS thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for HIMS extends from approximately $23.27 on the downside to $33.53 on the upside. A HIMS iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when HIMS 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 HIMS IV rank near 5.16% 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 HIMS at 63.01%. As a Healthcare name, HIMS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to HIMS-specific events.

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