What is a strangle on TLRY?
A long strangle buys an OTM call and an OTM put at offset strikes, cheaper than a straddle but requiring a larger underlying move to profit since both wings start out-of-the-money.
Current TLRY snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $4.63, ATM IV 88.48%, IV rank 11.92%, expected move 25.37%. The strangle on TLRY 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 11-day expiry.
Why this strangle structure on TLRY specifically: TLRY IV at 88.48% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a TLRY strangle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 25.37% (roughly $1.17 on the underlying). The 11-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TLRY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TLRY should anchor to the underlying notional of $4.63 per share and to the trader's directional view on TLRY stock.
TLRY strangle setup
The TLRY strangle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TLRY near $4.63, the first option leg uses a $5.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TLRY chain at a 11-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 TLRY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $5.00 | $0.10 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $4.50 | $0.18 |

When traders use strangle on TLRY
Strangles on TLRY are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the TLRY chain.
TLRY thesis for this strangle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TLRY extends from approximately $3.46 on the downside to $5.80 on the upside. A TLRY long strangle is the OTM cousin of the straddle: lower up-front cost but the underlying has to travel further past either OTM strike before the position turns profitable at expiration. Current TLRY IV rank near 11.92% 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 TLRY at 88.48%. As a Healthcare name, TLRY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TLRY-specific events.
TLRY strangle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM); 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. TLRY positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TLRY alongside the broader basket even when TLRY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TLRY chain quotes before placing a trade.
