LXP snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $60.55, ATM IV 28.30%, IV rank 7.24%, expected move 8.11%. The iron condor on LXP below is built from the 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 LXP specifically: LXP IV at 28.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling LXP iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.11% (roughly $4.91 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 LXP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LXP should anchor to the underlying notional of $60.55 per share and to the trader's directional view on LXP stock.
LXP iron condor setup
The LXP 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 LXP at $60.55 on that close, the first option leg uses a $63.58 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LXP 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 LXP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

LXP thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LXP extends from approximately $55.64 on the downside to $65.46 on the upside. A LXP iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when LXP 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 LXP IV rank near 7.24% 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 LXP at 28.30%. As a Real Estate name, LXP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LXP-specific events.
LXP 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. LXP positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LXP alongside the broader basket even when LXP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on LXP carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical LXP earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current LXP chain quotes before placing a trade.
