What is a strangle on RAAY?
A long strangle buys an OTM call and an OTM put at offset strikes, cheaper than a straddle but requiring a larger underlying move to profit since both wings start out-of-the-money.
Current RAAY snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $100.19, ATM IV 30.10%, expected move 8.63%. The strangle on RAAY 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 53-day expiry.
Why this strangle structure on RAAY specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for RAAY is inferred from ATM IV at 30.10% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.63% (roughly $8.65 on the underlying). The 53-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RAAY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RAAY should anchor to the underlying notional of $100.19 per share and to the trader's directional view on RAAY stock.
RAAY strangle setup
The RAAY strangle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RAAY near $100.19, the first option leg uses a $105.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RAAY chain at a 53-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 RAAY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $105.00 | $0.39 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $95.00 | $0.17 |

When traders use strangle on RAAY
Strangles on RAAY are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the RAAY chain.
RAAY thesis for this strangle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RAAY extends from approximately $91.54 on the downside to $108.84 on the upside. A RAAY long strangle is the OTM cousin of the straddle: lower up-front cost but the underlying has to travel further past either OTM strike before the position turns profitable at expiration. As a Financial Services name, RAAY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RAAY-specific events.
RAAY strangle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM); 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. RAAY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RAAY alongside the broader basket even when RAAY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RAAY chain quotes before placing a trade.
