MU snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $969.23, ATM IV 63.17%, IV rank 33.16%, expected move 18.11%. The iron condor on MU 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 28-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on MU specifically: MU IV at 63.17% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a MU iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 18.11% (roughly $175.52 on the underlying).

MU iron condor setup

The MU 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 MU at $969.23 on that close, the first option leg uses a $1,020.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MU chain at a 28-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 MU shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Short-premium structures like a iron condor on MU carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical MU earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current MU chain quotes before placing a trade.
