RH snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $181.44, ATM IV 75.40%, IV rank 47.03%, expected move 21.62%. The iron condor on RH below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 28-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on RH specifically: RH IV at 75.40% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a RH iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.62% (roughly $39.22 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RH should anchor to the underlying notional of $181.44 per share and to the trader's directional view on RH stock.
RH iron condor setup
The RH iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RH at $181.44 on that close, the first option leg uses a $190.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RH chain at a 28-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 RH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RH thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RH extends from approximately $142.22 on the downside to $220.66 on the upside. A RH iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when RH 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 RH IV rank near 47.03% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on RH should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, RH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RH-specific events.
RH 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. RH positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RH alongside the broader basket even when RH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on RH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical RH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current RH chain quotes before placing a trade.
