LMAT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $81.06, ATM IV 10.50%, IV rank 0.15%, expected move 3.01%. The iron condor on LMAT below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 iron condor structure on LMAT specifically: LMAT IV at 10.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling LMAT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 3.01% (roughly $2.44 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 LMAT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LMAT should anchor to the underlying notional of $81.06 per share and to the trader's directional view on LMAT stock.
LMAT iron condor setup
The LMAT iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With LMAT at $81.06 on that close, the first option leg uses a $85.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LMAT 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 LMAT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 1 | Call | $85.00 | $2.50 |

| Sell 1 | Put | $75.00 | $0.54 |

LMAT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LMAT extends from approximately $78.62 on the downside to $83.50 on the upside. A LMAT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when LMAT 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 LMAT IV rank near 0.15% 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 LMAT at 10.50%. As a Healthcare name, LMAT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LMAT-specific events.
LMAT 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. LMAT positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LMAT alongside the broader basket even when LMAT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on LMAT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical LMAT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current LMAT chain quotes before placing a trade.
