Current TSCO snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $30.45, ATM IV 42.56%, IV rank 89.95%, expected move 12.20%. The iron condor on TSCO 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 28-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on TSCO specifically: TSCO IV at 42.56% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a TSCO iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.20% (roughly $3.72 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 $30.45 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 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TSCO near $30.45, the first option leg uses a $32.00 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).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$32.00	$0.75
Buy 1	Call	$33.00	$0.48
Sell 1	Put	$29.00	$0.90
Buy 1	Put	$27.00	$0.40

TSCO thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TSCO extends from approximately $26.73 on the downside to $34.17 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 89.95% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on TSCO at 42.56%. 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.
