Current RVPH snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $12.63, ATM IV 352.70%, IV rank 91.49%, expected move 101.12%. The iron condor on RVPH 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 63-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on RVPH specifically: RVPH IV at 352.70% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a RVPH iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 101.12% (roughly $12.77 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RVPH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RVPH should anchor to the underlying notional of $12.63 per share and to the trader's directional view on RVPH stock.
RVPH iron condor setup
The RVPH iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RVPH near $12.63, the first option leg uses a $13.26 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RVPH chain at a 63-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 RVPH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RVPH thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RVPH extends from approximately $-0.14 on the downside to $25.40 on the upside. A RVPH iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when RVPH 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 RVPH IV rank near 91.49% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on RVPH at 352.70%. As a Healthcare name, RVPH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RVPH-specific events.
RVPH 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. RVPH positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RVPH alongside the broader basket even when RVPH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on RVPH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical RVPH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current RVPH chain quotes before placing a trade.
