LNTH snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $100.93, ATM IV 261.80%, IV rank 61.48%, expected move 75.06%. The iron condor on LNTH 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 LNTH specifically: LNTH IV at 261.80% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a LNTH iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 75.06% (roughly $75.75 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 LNTH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LNTH should anchor to the underlying notional of $100.93 per share and to the trader's directional view on LNTH stock.
LNTH iron condor setup
The LNTH 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 LNTH at $100.93 on that close, the first option leg uses a $105.98 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LNTH 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 LNTH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

LNTH thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LNTH extends from approximately $25.18 on the downside to $176.68 on the upside. A LNTH iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when LNTH 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 LNTH IV rank near 61.48% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on LNTH should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, LNTH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LNTH-specific events.
LNTH 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. LNTH positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LNTH alongside the broader basket even when LNTH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on LNTH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical LNTH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current LNTH chain quotes before placing a trade.
