What is a butterfly on INN?
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 INN snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $5.29, ATM IV 40.70%, IV rank 7.49%, expected move 11.67%. The butterfly on INN 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 34-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on INN specifically: INN IV at 40.70% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a INN butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.67% (roughly $0.62 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated INN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on INN should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.29 per share and to the trader's directional view on INN stock.
INN butterfly setup
The INN 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 INN near $5.29, the first option leg uses a $5.03 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed INN chain at a 34-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 INN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on INN

INN thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for INN extends from approximately $4.67 on the downside to $5.91 on the upside. A INN long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if INN settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current INN IV rank near 7.49% 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 INN at 40.70%. As a Real Estate name, INN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to INN-specific events.
INN 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. INN positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move INN alongside the broader basket even when INN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current INN chain quotes before placing a trade.

- How are INN butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
