What is a strangle on OOMA?

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 OOMA snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $18.93, ATM IV 51.90%, IV rank 11.92%, expected move 14.88%. The strangle 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 strangle 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 strangle, 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 strangle setup

The OOMA 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 OOMA near $18.93, the first option leg uses a $19.88 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).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$19.88	N/A
Buy 1	Put	$17.98	N/A

OOMA strangle risk and reward

Net Premium / Debit: N/A
Max Profit (per contract): Unbounded
Max Loss (per contract): Unbounded
Breakeven(s): None on modeled curve
Risk / Reward Ratio: N/A

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.

When traders use strangle on OOMA

Strangles on OOMA 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 OOMA chain.

OOMA thesis for this strangle

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 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 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 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. 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.
