Current MGNI snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $19.16, ATM IV 68.10%, IV rank 33.66%, expected move 19.52%. The iron condor on MGNI 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 18-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on MGNI specifically: MGNI IV at 68.10% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a MGNI iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 19.52% (roughly $3.74 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MGNI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MGNI should anchor to the underlying notional of $19.16 per share and to the trader's directional view on MGNI stock.

MGNI iron condor setup

The MGNI 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 MGNI near $19.16, the first option leg uses a $20.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MGNI chain at a 18-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 MGNI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

As a Communication Services name, MGNI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MGNI-specific events.

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