What is a butterfly on SGRY?

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 SGRY snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $13.89, ATM IV 53.10%, IV rank 30.10%, expected move 15.22%. The butterfly on SGRY 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 butterfly structure on SGRY specifically: SGRY IV at 53.10% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.22% (roughly $2.11 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 SGRY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SGRY should anchor to the underlying notional of $13.89 per share and to the trader's directional view on SGRY stock.

SGRY butterfly setup

The SGRY 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 SGRY near $13.89, the first option leg uses a $13.20 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SGRY 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 SGRY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on SGRY

Butterflies on SGRY are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect SGRY 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.

SGRY thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SGRY extends from approximately $11.78 on the downside to $16.00 on the upside. A SGRY long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if SGRY settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current SGRY IV rank near 30.10% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on SGRY should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, SGRY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SGRY-specific events.

SGRY 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. SGRY positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SGRY alongside the broader basket even when SGRY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current SGRY chain quotes before placing a trade.
