What is a butterfly on INNV?
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.
INNV snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $10.63, ATM IV 161.70%, IV rank 34.26%, expected move 46.36%. The butterfly on INNV below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on INNV specifically: INNV IV at 161.70% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 46.36% (roughly $4.93 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated INNV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on INNV should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.63 per share and to the trader's directional view on INNV stock.
INNV butterfly setup
The INNV 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 INNV at $10.63 on that close, the first option leg uses a $10.10 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed INNV chain at a 35-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 INNV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

INNV thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for INNV extends from approximately $5.70 on the downside to $15.56 on the upside. A INNV long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if INNV settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current INNV IV rank near 34.26% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on INNV should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, INNV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to INNV-specific events.
INNV 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. INNV positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move INNV alongside the broader basket even when INNV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current INNV chain quotes before placing a trade.
