What is a butterfly on SRG?

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 SRG snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $2.63, ATM IV 25.50%, IV rank 1.69%, expected move 7.31%. The butterfly on SRG 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 17-day expiry.

Why this butterfly structure on SRG specifically: SRG IV at 25.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a SRG butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.31% (roughly $0.19 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated SRG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SRG should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.63 per share and to the trader's directional view on SRG stock.

SRG butterfly setup

The SRG 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 SRG near $2.63, the first option leg uses a $2.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SRG chain at a 17-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 SRG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$2.50	N/A
Sell 2	Call	$2.63	N/A
Buy 1	Call	$2.76	N/A

When traders use butterfly on SRG

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

SRG thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SRG extends from approximately $2.44 on the downside to $2.82 on the upside. A SRG long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if SRG settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current SRG IV rank near 1.69% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on SRG at 25.50%. As a Real Estate name, SRG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SRG-specific events.

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