As of August 14, 2026, spot at $5.58, ATM IV 379.40%, IV rank 80.19%, expected move 108.77%. The iron condor on SPRY below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on SPRY specifically: SPRY IV at 379.40% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a SPRY iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 108.77% (roughly $6.07 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated SPRY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SPRY should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.58 per share and to the trader's directional view on SPRY stock.
SPRY iron condor setup
The SPRY 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 SPRY at $5.58 on that close, the first option leg uses a $5.86 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SPRY chain at a 35-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 SPRY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

SPRY thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SPRY extends from approximately $-0.49 on the downside to $11.65 on the upside. A SPRY iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when SPRY 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 SPRY IV rank near 80.19% 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 SPRY at 379.40%. As a Healthcare name, SPRY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SPRY-specific events.
SPRY 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. SPRY positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SPRY alongside the broader basket even when SPRY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on SPRY carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical SPRY earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current SPRY chain quotes before placing a trade.
