Current UBER snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $75.36, ATM IV 35.34%, IV rank 31.80%, expected move 10.13%. The iron condor on UBER 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 UBER specifically: UBER IV at 35.34% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a UBER iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.13% (roughly $7.63 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 UBER expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on UBER should anchor to the underlying notional of $75.36 per share and to the trader's directional view on UBER stock.
UBER iron condor setup
The UBER 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 UBER near $75.36, the first option leg uses a $79.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed UBER 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 UBER shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $79.00 | $1.59 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $83.00 | $0.69 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $72.00 | $1.49 |

UBER thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for UBER extends from approximately $67.73 on the downside to $82.99 on the upside. A UBER iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when UBER 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 UBER IV rank near 31.80% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on UBER should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, UBER options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to UBER-specific events.
UBER 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. UBER positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move UBER alongside the broader basket even when UBER-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on UBER carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical UBER earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current UBER chain quotes before placing a trade.
