TSCO snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $35.86, ATM IV 33.00%, IV rank 33.26%, expected move 9.46%. The iron condor on TSCO 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 28-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on TSCO specifically: TSCO IV at 33.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a TSCO iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.46% (roughly $3.39 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TSCO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TSCO should anchor to the underlying notional of $35.86 per share and to the trader's directional view on TSCO stock.

TSCO iron condor setup

The TSCO 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 TSCO at $35.86 on that close, the first option leg uses a $38.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TSCO chain at a 28-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 TSCO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TSCO thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TSCO extends from approximately $32.47 on the downside to $39.25 on the upside. A TSCO iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when TSCO 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 TSCO IV rank near 33.26% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on TSCO should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, TSCO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TSCO-specific events.

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