STNG Iron Condor Strategy

STNG (Scorpio Tankers Inc.), in the Industrials sector, (Marine Shipping industry), listed on NYSE.

Scorpio Tankers Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the seaborne transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products worldwide. As of March 19, 2026, its fleet consisted of 90 wholly owned tankers, including 34 LR2, 42MR, and 14 Handymax. Scorpio Tankers Inc. was incorporated in 2009 and is headquartered in Monaco.

STNG (Scorpio Tankers Inc.) trades in the Industrials sector, specifically Marine Shipping, with a market capitalization of approximately $3.81B, a trailing P/E of 4.27, a beta of -0.25 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 44.38-87.39, average daily share volume of 960K, a public-listing history dating back to 2010, approximately 24 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how STNG stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of -0.25 indicates STNG has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. The trailing P/E of 4.27 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price. STNG pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

STNG snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $79.25, ATM IV 35.70%, IV rank 21.10%, expected move 10.23%. The iron condor on STNG 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 63-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on STNG specifically: STNG IV at 35.70% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling STNG iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.23% (roughly $8.11 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated STNG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on STNG should anchor to the underlying notional of $79.25 per share and to the trader's directional view on STNG stock.

STNG iron condor setup

The STNG 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 STNG at $79.25 on that close, the first option leg uses a $82.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed STNG chain at a 63-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 STNG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$82.50	$3.50
Buy 1	Call	$87.50	$2.03
Sell 1	Put	$75.00	$2.95
Buy 1	Put	$72.50	$2.15

STNG thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for STNG extends from approximately $71.14 on the downside to $87.36 on the upside. A STNG iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when STNG 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 STNG IV rank near 21.10% 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 STNG at 35.70%. As a Industrials name, STNG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to STNG-specific events.

STNG 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. STNG positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move STNG alongside the broader basket even when STNG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on STNG carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical STNG earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current STNG chain quotes before placing a trade.
