ODD (Oddity Tech Ltd.) trades in the Technology sector, specifically Software - Infrastructure, with a market capitalization of approximately $720.6M, a trailing P/E of 6.57, a beta of 2.58 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 10.8-79.18, average daily share volume of 2.4M, a public-listing history dating back to 2023, approximately 489 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how ODD stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 2.58 indicates ODD 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 6.57 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price.
What is a strangle on ODD?
A long strangle buys an OTM call and an OTM put at offset strikes, cheaper than a straddle but requiring a larger underlying move to profit since both wings start out-of-the-money.
Current ODD snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $12.60, ATM IV 104.54%, IV rank 74.53%, expected move 29.97%. The strangle on ODD 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 28-day expiry.
Why this strangle structure on ODD specifically: ODD IV at 104.54% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying ODD strangle relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 29.97% (roughly $3.78 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ODD expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ODD should anchor to the underlying notional of $12.60 per share and to the trader's directional view on ODD stock.
ODD strangle setup
The ODD strangle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ODD near $12.60, the first option leg uses a $13.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ODD 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 ODD shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $13.00 | $1.33 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $12.00 | $1.10 |

When traders use strangle on ODD
Strangles on ODD are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the ODD chain.
ODD thesis for this strangle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ODD extends from approximately $8.82 on the downside to $16.38 on the upside. A ODD long strangle is the OTM cousin of the straddle: lower up-front cost but the underlying has to travel further past either OTM strike before the position turns profitable at expiration. Current ODD IV rank near 74.53% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on ODD at 104.54%. As a Technology name, ODD options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ODD-specific events.
ODD strangle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM); 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. ODD positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ODD alongside the broader basket even when ODD-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ODD chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a strangle on ODD?
- A strangle on ODD is the strangle strategy applied to ODD (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM): A long strangle buys an OTM call and an OTM put at offset strikes, cheaper than a straddle but requiring a larger underlying move to profit since both wings start out-of-the-money. With ODD stock trading near $12.60, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed ODD chain strike and the premiums come straight from the end-of-day bid/ask midpoint.
- How are ODD strangle max profit and max loss calculated?
- Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the put strike minus the combined debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached anywhere between the two OTM strikes). Two breakevens at call-strike plus debit and put-strike minus debit. For the ODD strangle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 104.54%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$242.50 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a ODD strangle?
- The breakeven for the ODD strangle priced on this page is roughly $9.58 and $15.43 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 ODD market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 29.97%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
- When should you consider a strangle on ODD?
- Strangles on ODD are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the ODD chain.
- How does current ODD implied volatility affect this strangle?
- ODD ATM IV is at 104.54% with IV rank near 74.53%, which is elevated relative to its 1-year range. Premium-selling structures (covered call, cash-secured put, iron condor) generally look more attractive when IV rank is high; premium-buying structures (long call, long put, debit spreads) are more expensive in that regime.
