Current PVH snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $73.28, ATM IV 40.10%, IV rank 9.65%, expected move 11.50%. The iron condor on PVH 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 80-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on PVH specifically: PVH IV at 40.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling PVH iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.50% (roughly $8.42 on the underlying). The 80-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PVH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PVH should anchor to the underlying notional of $73.28 per share and to the trader's directional view on PVH stock.
PVH iron condor setup
The PVH 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 PVH near $73.28, 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 PVH chain at a 80-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 PVH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 1 | Call | $75.00 | $7.05 |

| Sell 1 | Put | $70.00 | $4.70 |

PVH thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PVH extends from approximately $64.86 on the downside to $81.70 on the upside. A PVH iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when PVH 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 PVH IV rank near 9.65% 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 PVH at 40.10%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, PVH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PVH-specific events.
PVH 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. PVH positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PVH alongside the broader basket even when PVH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on PVH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical PVH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current PVH chain quotes before placing a trade.
