Current PEBO snapshot
As of June 25, 2026, spot at $37.78, ATM IV 70.00%, IV rank 40.29%, expected move 20.07%. The iron condor on PEBO 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 22-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on PEBO specifically: PEBO IV at 70.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a PEBO iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.07% (roughly $7.58 on the underlying). The 22-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PEBO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PEBO should anchor to the underlying notional of $37.78 per share and to the trader's directional view on PEBO stock.
PEBO iron condor setup
The PEBO 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 PEBO near $37.78, the first option leg uses a $39.67 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PEBO chain at a 22-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 PEBO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PEBO thesis for this iron condor

A PEBO iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when PEBO 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 PEBO IV rank near 40.29% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on PEBO should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, PEBO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PEBO-specific events.
PEBO 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. PEBO positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PEBO alongside the broader basket even when PEBO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on PEBO carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical PEBO earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current PEBO chain quotes before placing a trade.
