What is a straddle on INN?
A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the 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 straddle 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 straddle 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 straddle, 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 straddle setup
The INN straddle 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 $5.29 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).

INN thesis for this straddle
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 straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. 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 straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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.
