SPXC snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $216.43, ATM IV 36.00%, IV rank 39.76%, expected move 10.32%. The iron condor on SPXC below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 SPXC specifically: SPXC IV at 36.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a SPXC iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.32% (roughly $22.34 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 SPXC expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SPXC should anchor to the underlying notional of $216.43 per share and to the trader's directional view on SPXC stock.
SPXC iron condor setup
The SPXC iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With SPXC at $216.43 on that close, the first option leg uses a $230.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SPXC 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 SPXC shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $230.00 | $4.70 |

SPXC thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SPXC extends from approximately $194.09 on the downside to $238.77 on the upside. A SPXC iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when SPXC 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 SPXC IV rank near 39.76% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on SPXC should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Basic Materials name, SPXC options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SPXC-specific events.
SPXC 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. SPXC positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SPXC alongside the broader basket even when SPXC-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on SPXC carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical SPXC earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current SPXC chain quotes before placing a trade.
