What is a butterfly on RPAY?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current RPAY snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $4.20, ATM IV 86.70%, IV rank 24.29%, expected move 24.86%. The butterfly on RPAY 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 17-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on RPAY specifically: RPAY IV at 86.70% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a RPAY butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 24.86% (roughly $1.04 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RPAY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RPAY should anchor to the underlying notional of $4.20 per share and to the trader's directional view on RPAY stock.
RPAY butterfly setup
The RPAY butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RPAY near $4.20, the first option leg uses a $3.99 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RPAY chain at a 17-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 RPAY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $3.99 | N/A |
| Sell 2 | Call | $4.20 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Call | $4.41 | N/A |

When traders use butterfly on RPAY
Butterflies on RPAY are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect RPAY to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
RPAY thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RPAY extends from approximately $3.16 on the downside to $5.24 on the upside. A RPAY long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if RPAY settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current RPAY IV rank near 24.29% 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 RPAY at 86.70%. As a Technology name, RPAY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RPAY-specific events.
RPAY butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. RPAY positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RPAY alongside the broader basket even when RPAY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RPAY chain quotes before placing a trade.
