What is a iron condor on VEEV?

Current VEEV snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $159.11, ATM IV 60.40%, IV rank 76.53%, expected move 17.32%. The iron condor on VEEV 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 34-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on VEEV specifically: VEEV IV at 60.40% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a VEEV iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.32% (roughly $27.55 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated VEEV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on VEEV should anchor to the underlying notional of $159.11 per share and to the trader's directional view on VEEV stock.
VEEV iron condor setup
The VEEV 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 VEEV near $159.11, the first option leg uses a $165.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed VEEV chain at a 34-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 VEEV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $165.00 | $9.60 |

| Sell 1 | Put | $150.00 | $7.70 |

VEEV thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for VEEV extends from approximately $131.56 on the downside to $186.66 on the upside. A VEEV iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when VEEV 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 VEEV IV rank near 76.53% 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 VEEV at 60.40%. As a Healthcare name, VEEV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to VEEV-specific events.
VEEV 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. VEEV positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move VEEV alongside the broader basket even when VEEV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on VEEV carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical VEEV earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current VEEV chain quotes before placing a trade.
