Current STKS snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $2.04, ATM IV 236.80%, IV rank 48.31%, expected move 67.89%. The iron condor on STKS 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 18-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on STKS specifically: STKS IV at 236.80% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a STKS iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 67.89% (roughly $1.38 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated STKS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on STKS should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.04 per share and to the trader's directional view on STKS stock.
STKS iron condor setup
The STKS 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 STKS near $2.04, the first option leg uses a $2.14 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed STKS chain at a 18-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 STKS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

STKS thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for STKS extends from approximately $0.66 on the downside to $3.42 on the upside. A STKS iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when STKS 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 STKS IV rank near 48.31% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on STKS should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, STKS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to STKS-specific events.
STKS 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. STKS positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move STKS alongside the broader basket even when STKS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on STKS carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical STKS earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current STKS chain quotes before placing a trade.
