RHP snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $125.28, ATM IV 26.40%, IV rank 2.65%, expected move 7.57%. The iron condor on RHP 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 35-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on RHP specifically: RHP IV at 26.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling RHP iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.57% (roughly $9.48 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RHP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RHP should anchor to the underlying notional of $125.28 per share and to the trader's directional view on RHP stock.
RHP iron condor setup
The RHP 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 RHP at $125.28 on that close, the first option leg uses a $130.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RHP chain at a 35-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 RHP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $130.00 | $2.65 |

| Sell 1 | Put | $120.00 | $2.53 |

RHP thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RHP extends from approximately $115.80 on the downside to $134.76 on the upside. A RHP iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when RHP 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 RHP IV rank near 2.65% 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 RHP at 26.40%. As a Real Estate name, RHP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RHP-specific events.
RHP 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. RHP positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RHP alongside the broader basket even when RHP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on RHP carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical RHP earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current RHP chain quotes before placing a trade.
