Current UFPT snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $263.88, ATM IV 36.80%, IV rank 35.70%, expected move 10.55%. The iron condor on UFPT 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 18-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on UFPT specifically: UFPT IV at 36.80% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a UFPT iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.55% (roughly $27.84 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated UFPT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on UFPT should anchor to the underlying notional of $263.88 per share and to the trader's directional view on UFPT stock.
UFPT iron condor setup
The UFPT 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 UFPT near $263.88, the first option leg uses a $280.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed UFPT chain at a 18-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 UFPT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

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