Current OXM snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $39.94, ATM IV 74.90%, IV rank 41.37%, expected move 21.47%. The iron condor on OXM 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 iron condor structure on OXM specifically: OXM IV at 74.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a OXM iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.47% (roughly $8.58 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 OXM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OXM should anchor to the underlying notional of $39.94 per share and to the trader's directional view on OXM stock.
OXM iron condor setup
The OXM iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With OXM near $39.94, the first option leg uses a $41.94 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OXM 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 OXM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

OXM thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OXM extends from approximately $31.36 on the downside to $48.52 on the upside. A OXM iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when OXM stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current OXM IV rank near 41.37% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on OXM should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, OXM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OXM-specific events.
OXM iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; 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. OXM positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OXM alongside the broader basket even when OXM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on OXM carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical OXM earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current OXM chain quotes before placing a trade.
