What is a butterfly on OOMA?
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 OOMA snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $18.93, ATM IV 51.90%, IV rank 11.92%, expected move 14.88%. The butterfly on OOMA 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 OOMA specifically: OOMA IV at 51.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a OOMA butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.88% (roughly $2.82 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 OOMA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OOMA should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.93 per share and to the trader's directional view on OOMA stock.
OOMA butterfly setup
The OOMA 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 OOMA near $18.93, the first option leg uses a $17.98 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OOMA 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 OOMA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $17.98 | N/A |
| Sell 2 | Call | $18.93 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Call | $19.88 | N/A |

When traders use butterfly on OOMA
Butterflies on OOMA are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect OOMA to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
OOMA thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OOMA extends from approximately $16.11 on the downside to $21.75 on the upside. A OOMA long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if OOMA settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current OOMA IV rank near 11.92% 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 OOMA at 51.90%. As a Communication Services name, OOMA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OOMA-specific events.
OOMA 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. OOMA positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OOMA alongside the broader basket even when OOMA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current OOMA chain quotes before placing a trade.
