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 SKYH snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $8.56, ATM IV 374.20%, IV rank 80.59%, expected move 15.40%. The butterfly on SKYH 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 SKYH specifically: SKYH IV at 374.20% is rich versus its 1-year range, which makes a premium-buying SKYH butterfly relatively expensive in absolute-cost terms, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.40% (roughly $1.32 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 SKYH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SKYH should anchor to the underlying notional of $8.56 per share and to the trader's directional view on SKYH stock.
SKYH butterfly setup
The SKYH 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 SKYH near $8.56, the first option leg uses a $8.13 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SKYH 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 SKYH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|

When traders use butterfly on SKYH

SKYH thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SKYH extends from approximately $7.24 on the downside to $9.88 on the upside. A SKYH long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if SKYH settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current SKYH IV rank near 80.59% 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 SKYH at 374.20%. As a Industrials name, SKYH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SKYH-specific events.
SKYH 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. SKYH positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SKYH alongside the broader basket even when SKYH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current SKYH chain quotes before placing a trade.

- How are SKYH butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?

- What is the breakeven for a SKYH butterfly?
- The breakeven for the SKYH butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve 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 SKYH market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 15.40%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
