What is a butterfly on PRVA?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current PRVA snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $25.75, ATM IV 32.00%, IV rank 6.35%, expected move 9.17%. The butterfly on PRVA 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 17-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on PRVA specifically: PRVA IV at 32.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a PRVA butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.17% (roughly $2.36 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PRVA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PRVA should anchor to the underlying notional of $25.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on PRVA stock.
PRVA butterfly setup
The PRVA butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With PRVA near $25.75, the first option leg uses a $24.46 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PRVA chain at a 17-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 PRVA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on PRVA
Butterflies on PRVA are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect PRVA to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
PRVA thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PRVA extends from approximately $23.39 on the downside to $28.11 on the upside. A PRVA long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if PRVA settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current PRVA IV rank near 6.35% 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 PRVA at 32.00%. As a Healthcare name, PRVA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PRVA-specific events.
PRVA butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. PRVA positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PRVA alongside the broader basket even when PRVA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PRVA chain quotes before placing a trade.
