SACH (Sachem Capital Corp.) trades in the Real Estate sector, specifically REIT - Mortgage, with a market capitalization of approximately $50.4M, a trailing P/E of 7.81, a beta of 1.10 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 0.801-1.35, average daily share volume of 159K, a public-listing history dating back to 2017, approximately 28 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how SACH stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 1.10 places SACH roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 7.81 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price. SACH pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

Current SACH snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $1.03, ATM IV 21.90%, IV rank 1.02%, expected move 6.28%. The iron condor on SACH 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 iron condor structure on SACH specifically: SACH IV at 21.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling SACH iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.28% (roughly $0.06 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 SACH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SACH should anchor to the underlying notional of $1.03 per share and to the trader's directional view on SACH stock.
SACH iron condor setup
The SACH 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 SACH near $1.03, the first option leg uses a $1.08 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SACH 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 SACH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $1.13 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $0.98 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $0.93 | N/A |

SACH thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SACH extends from approximately $0.97 on the downside to $1.09 on the upside. A SACH iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when SACH 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 SACH IV rank near 1.02% 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 SACH at 21.90%. As a Real Estate name, SACH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SACH-specific events.
SACH 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. SACH positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SACH alongside the broader basket even when SACH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on SACH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical SACH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current SACH chain quotes before placing a trade.
