What is a straddle on TILE?

A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the strike at expiration.

Current TILE snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $35.84, ATM IV 71.80%, IV rank 25.16%, expected move 20.58%. The straddle on TILE 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 straddle structure on TILE specifically: TILE IV at 71.80% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a TILE straddle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.58% (roughly $7.38 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 TILE expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TILE should anchor to the underlying notional of $35.84 per share and to the trader's directional view on TILE stock.

TILE straddle setup

The TILE straddle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TILE near $35.84, the first option leg uses a $35.84 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TILE 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 TILE shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)

TILE straddle risk and reward

Net Premium / Debit: N/A
Max Profit (per contract): Unbounded

Risk / Reward Ratio: N/A

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the strike minus the combined call plus put debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins to the strike). Two breakevens at strike plus debit and strike minus debit.

TILE thesis for this straddle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TILE extends from approximately $28.46 on the downside to $43.22 on the upside. A TILE long straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. Current TILE IV rank near 25.16% 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 TILE at 71.80%. As a Industrials name, TILE options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TILE-specific events.

TILE straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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. TILE positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TILE alongside the broader basket even when TILE-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TILE chain quotes before placing a trade.
