WGS snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $77.59, ATM IV 66.41%, IV rank 13.14%, expected move 19.04%. The iron condor on WGS below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 WGS specifically: WGS IV at 66.41% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling WGS iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 19.04% (roughly $14.77 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 WGS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WGS should anchor to the underlying notional of $77.59 per share and to the trader's directional view on WGS stock.

WGS iron condor setup

The WGS iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With WGS at $77.59 on that close, the first option leg uses a $81.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WGS 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 WGS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$81.00	$4.80
Buy 1	Call	$85.00	$3.50
Sell 1	Put	$74.00	$3.75
Buy 1	Put	$70.00	$2.33

WGS thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WGS extends from approximately $62.82 on the downside to $92.36 on the upside. A WGS iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when WGS 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 WGS IV rank near 13.14% 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 WGS at 66.41%. As a Healthcare name, WGS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WGS-specific events.

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