What is a strangle on WEAV?
A long strangle buys an OTM call and an OTM put at offset strikes, cheaper than a straddle but requiring a larger underlying move to profit since both wings start out-of-the-money.
Current WEAV snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $5.29, ATM IV 67.60%, IV rank 11.18%, expected move 19.38%. The strangle on WEAV 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 strangle structure on WEAV specifically: WEAV IV at 67.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a WEAV strangle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 19.38% (roughly $1.03 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 WEAV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WEAV should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.29 per share and to the trader's directional view on WEAV stock.
WEAV strangle setup
The WEAV strangle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With WEAV near $5.29, the first option leg uses a $5.55 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WEAV 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 WEAV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $5.55 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $5.03 | N/A |

- Max Profit (per contract)
- Unbounded

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the put strike minus the combined debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached anywhere between the two OTM strikes). Two breakevens at call-strike plus debit and put-strike minus debit.

WEAV thesis for this strangle
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WEAV extends from approximately $4.26 on the downside to $6.32 on the upside. A WEAV long strangle is the OTM cousin of the straddle: lower up-front cost but the underlying has to travel further past either OTM strike before the position turns profitable at expiration. Current WEAV IV rank near 11.18% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on WEAV at 67.60%. As a Technology name, WEAV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WEAV-specific events.
WEAV strangle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM); 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. WEAV positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move WEAV alongside the broader basket even when WEAV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current WEAV chain quotes before placing a trade.
