How are MOD straddle max profit and max loss calculated?

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the strike minus the combined call plus put debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins to the strike). Two breakevens at strike plus debit and strike minus debit. For the MOD straddle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 83.20%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$3,754.95 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a MOD straddle?

The breakeven for the MOD straddle priced on this page is roughly $222.00 and $298.00 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current MOD market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 23.85%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current MOD implied volatility affect this straddle?

MOD ATM IV is at 83.20% with IV rank near 69.55%, which is mid-range against its 1-year history. Strategy selection depends more on directional thesis and expected move than on a strong IV signal.

MOD Straddle Strategy

MOD (Modine Manufacturing Company), in the Consumer Cyclical sector, (Auto - Parts industry), listed on NYSE.

Modine Manufacturing Company specializes in delivering advanced thermal management systems and heat exchange components, primarily catering to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in both on- and off-highway vehicular markets. The company's operations are structured into two main segments: Climate Solutions and Performance Technologies. Its extensive product portfolio encompasses a wide array of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions. This includes various heating units such as gas-fired, hydronic, electric, and oil-fired models, alongside indoor and outdoor duct furnaces, infrared units, and perimeter heating offerings like commercial fin-tube radiation, cabinet unit heaters, and convectors. Modine also supplies roof-mounted direct- and indirect-fired makeup air units, unit ventilators, single packaged vertical units, and precision air conditioning systems designed for data centers. Further HVAC offerings feature air handler units, fan walls, chillers, ceiling cassettes, hybrid fan coils, and diverse condensers and condensing units.

MOD (Modine Manufacturing Company) trades in the Consumer Cyclical sector, specifically Auto - Parts, with a market capitalization of approximately $13.52B, a trailing P/E of 113.49, a beta of 1.66 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 86.48-323.25, average daily share volume of 1.3M, a public-listing history dating back to 1982, approximately 11K full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how MOD stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 1.66 indicates MOD has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position. The trailing P/E of 113.49 is on the rich side, which tends to correlate with higher earnings-window IV expansion as the market debates whether forward growth supports the multiple.

What is a straddle on MOD?

A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the strike at expiration.

Current MOD snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $255.69, ATM IV 83.20%, IV rank 69.55%, expected move 23.85%. The straddle on MOD 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 straddle structure on MOD specifically: MOD IV at 83.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.85% (roughly $60.99 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 MOD expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MOD should anchor to the underlying notional of $255.69 per share and to the trader's directional view on MOD stock.

MOD straddle setup

The MOD straddle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With MOD near $255.69, the first option leg uses a $260.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MOD 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 MOD shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$260.00	$16.65
Buy 1	Put	$260.00	$21.35

When traders use straddle on MOD

Straddles on MOD are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy MOD straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.

MOD thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MOD extends from approximately $194.70 on the downside to $316.68 on the upside. A MOD long straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. Current MOD IV rank near 69.55% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the straddle thesis on MOD should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, MOD options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MOD-specific events.

MOD straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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. MOD positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MOD alongside the broader basket even when MOD-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current MOD chain quotes before placing a trade.
