Current LNSR snapshot
As of May 14, 2026, spot at $5.82, ATM IV 55.30%, IV rank 7.49%, expected move 15.85%. The iron condor on LNSR 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 35-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on LNSR specifically: LNSR IV at 55.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling LNSR iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.85% (roughly $0.92 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 LNSR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LNSR should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.82 per share and to the trader's directional view on LNSR stock.
LNSR iron condor setup
The LNSR 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 LNSR near $5.82, the first option leg uses a $6.11 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LNSR 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 LNSR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

LNSR thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LNSR extends from approximately $4.90 on the downside to $6.74 on the upside. A LNSR iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when LNSR 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 LNSR 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 LNSR at 55.30%. As a Healthcare name, LNSR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LNSR-specific events.
LNSR 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. LNSR positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LNSR alongside the broader basket even when LNSR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on LNSR carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical LNSR earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current LNSR chain quotes before placing a trade.
