Current ITRI snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $86.36, ATM IV 42.90%, IV rank 31.63%, expected move 12.30%. The iron condor on ITRI 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 ITRI specifically: ITRI IV at 42.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a ITRI iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.30% (roughly $10.62 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 ITRI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ITRI should anchor to the underlying notional of $86.36 per share and to the trader's directional view on ITRI stock.
ITRI iron condor setup
The ITRI 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 ITRI near $86.36, the first option leg uses a $90.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ITRI 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 ITRI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $90.00 | $1.80 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $95.00 | $0.75 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $80.00 | $1.18 |

ITRI thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ITRI extends from approximately $75.74 on the downside to $96.98 on the upside. A ITRI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when ITRI 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 ITRI IV rank near 31.63% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on ITRI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, ITRI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ITRI-specific events.
ITRI 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. ITRI positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ITRI alongside the broader basket even when ITRI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on ITRI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ITRI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ITRI chain quotes before placing a trade.
