A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current OMDA snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $16.74, ATM IV 76.40%, IV rank 6.83%, expected move 21.90%. The butterfly on OMDA 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 34-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on OMDA specifically: OMDA IV at 76.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a OMDA butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.90% (roughly $3.67 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated OMDA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OMDA should anchor to the underlying notional of $16.74 per share and to the trader's directional view on OMDA stock.
OMDA butterfly setup
The OMDA butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With OMDA near $16.74, the first option leg uses a $15.90 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OMDA chain at a 34-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 OMDA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

OMDA thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OMDA extends from approximately $13.07 on the downside to $20.41 on the upside. A OMDA long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if OMDA settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current OMDA IV rank near 6.83% 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 OMDA at 76.40%. As a Healthcare name, OMDA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OMDA-specific events.
OMDA butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. OMDA positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OMDA alongside the broader basket even when OMDA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current OMDA chain quotes before placing a trade.
