What is a strangle on REXR?
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 REXR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $34.80, ATM IV 27.60%, IV rank 4.33%, expected move 7.91%. The strangle on REXR 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 34-day expiry.
Why this strangle structure on REXR specifically: REXR IV at 27.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a REXR strangle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.91% (roughly $2.75 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated REXR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on REXR should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.80 per share and to the trader's directional view on REXR stock.
REXR strangle setup
The REXR 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 REXR near $34.80, the first option leg uses a $36.54 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed REXR chain at a 34-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 REXR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $36.54 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $33.06 | N/A |

When traders use strangle on REXR
Strangles on REXR 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 REXR chain.
REXR thesis for this strangle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for REXR extends from approximately $32.05 on the downside to $37.55 on the upside. A REXR 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. Current REXR IV rank near 4.33% 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 REXR at 27.60%. As a Real Estate name, REXR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to REXR-specific events.
REXR 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. REXR positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move REXR alongside the broader basket even when REXR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current REXR chain quotes before placing a trade.
