How are SEDG straddle max profit and max loss calculated?

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the strike minus the combined call plus put debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins to the strike). Two breakevens at strike plus debit and strike minus debit. For the SEDG straddle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 120.11%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$1,648.83 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a SEDG straddle?

The breakeven for the SEDG straddle priced on this page is roughly $43.50 and $76.50 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current SEDG market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 34.44%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current SEDG implied volatility affect this straddle?

SEDG ATM IV is at 120.11% with IV rank near 89.73%, which is elevated relative to its 1-year range. Premium-selling structures (covered call, cash-secured put, iron condor) generally look more attractive when IV rank is high; premium-buying structures (long call, long put, debit spreads) are more expensive in that regime.

Current SEDG snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $62.17, ATM IV 120.11%, IV rank 89.73%, expected move 34.44%. The straddle on SEDG 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 28-day expiry.

Why this straddle structure on SEDG specifically: SEDG IV at 120.11% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying SEDG straddle relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 34.44% (roughly $21.41 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 SEDG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SEDG should anchor to the underlying notional of $62.17 per share and to the trader's directional view on SEDG stock.

SEDG straddle setup

The SEDG straddle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With SEDG near $62.17, the first option leg uses a $60.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SEDG 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 SEDG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$60.00	$9.50
Buy 1	Put	$60.00	$7.00

When traders use straddle on SEDG

Straddles on SEDG are pure-volatility plays that profit from large moves in either direction; traders typically buy SEDG straddles ahead of earnings, FDA decisions, or other catalysts where the realized move is expected to exceed the implied move priced into the chain.

SEDG thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SEDG extends from approximately $40.76 on the downside to $83.58 on the upside. A SEDG long straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. Current SEDG IV rank near 89.73% 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 SEDG at 120.11%. As a Energy name, SEDG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SEDG-specific events.

SEDG straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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. SEDG positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SEDG alongside the broader basket even when SEDG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current SEDG chain quotes before placing a trade.
