Current PII snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $71.11, ATM IV 50.00%, IV rank 33.81%, expected move 14.33%. The iron condor on PII 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 200-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on PII specifically: PII IV at 50.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a PII iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.33% (roughly $10.19 on the underlying). The 200-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PII expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PII should anchor to the underlying notional of $71.11 per share and to the trader's directional view on PII stock.
PII iron condor setup
The PII 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 PII near $71.11, the first option leg uses a $75.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PII chain at a 200-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 PII shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

A PII iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when PII 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 PII IV rank near 33.81% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on PII should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, PII options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PII-specific events.
PII 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. PII positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PII alongside the broader basket even when PII-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on PII carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical PII earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current PII chain quotes before placing a trade.
