PG snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $148.37, ATM IV 23.16%, IV rank 50.88%, expected move 6.64%. The iron condor on PG below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 31-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on PG specifically: PG IV at 23.16% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a PG iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.64% (roughly $9.85 on the underlying). The 31-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PG should anchor to the underlying notional of $148.37 per share and to the trader's directional view on PG stock.
PG iron condor setup
The PG iron condor below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With PG at $148.37 on that close, the first option leg uses a $155.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PG chain at a 31-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 PG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PG thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PG extends from approximately $138.52 on the downside to $158.22 on the upside. A PG iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when PG 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 PG IV rank near 50.88% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on PG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Defensive name, PG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PG-specific events.
PG 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. PG positions also carry Consumer Defensive sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PG alongside the broader basket even when PG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on PG carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical PG earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current PG chain quotes before placing a trade.
