Current LEVI snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $24.80, ATM IV 53.40%, IV rank 43.52%, expected move 15.31%. The iron condor on LEVI 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 LEVI specifically: LEVI IV at 53.40% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a LEVI iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.31% (roughly $3.80 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 LEVI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LEVI should anchor to the underlying notional of $24.80 per share and to the trader's directional view on LEVI stock.

LEVI iron condor setup

The LEVI 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 LEVI near $24.80, the first option leg uses a $26.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LEVI 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 LEVI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

LEVI thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LEVI extends from approximately $21.00 on the downside to $28.60 on the upside. A LEVI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when LEVI 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 LEVI IV rank near 43.52% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on LEVI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, LEVI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LEVI-specific events.

LEVI 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. LEVI positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LEVI alongside the broader basket even when LEVI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on LEVI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical LEVI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current LEVI chain quotes before placing a trade.
