Current IDYA snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $37.33, ATM IV 62.90%, IV rank 9.93%, expected move 18.03%. The iron condor on IDYA 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 IDYA specifically: IDYA IV at 62.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling IDYA iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 18.03% (roughly $6.73 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 IDYA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on IDYA should anchor to the underlying notional of $37.33 per share and to the trader's directional view on IDYA stock.
IDYA iron condor setup
The IDYA 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 IDYA near $37.33, the first option leg uses a $39.20 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed IDYA 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 IDYA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $41.06 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $35.46 | N/A |

IDYA thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for IDYA extends from approximately $30.60 on the downside to $44.06 on the upside. A IDYA iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when IDYA 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 IDYA IV rank near 9.93% 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 IDYA at 62.90%. As a Healthcare name, IDYA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to IDYA-specific events.
IDYA 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. IDYA positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move IDYA alongside the broader basket even when IDYA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on IDYA carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical IDYA earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current IDYA chain quotes before placing a trade.
