WIMI (WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc.) trades in the Communication Services sector, specifically Advertising Agencies, with a market capitalization of approximately $75.6M, a trailing P/E of 1.77, a beta of 0.33 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 1.46-5.65, average daily share volume of 491K, a public-listing history dating back to 2020, approximately 107 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how WIMI stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.33 indicates WIMI has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. The trailing P/E of 1.77 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price.
What is a butterfly on WIMI?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current WIMI snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $1.53, ATM IV 25.00%, IV rank 0.78%, expected move 7.17%. The butterfly on WIMI 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 butterfly structure on WIMI specifically: WIMI IV at 25.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a WIMI butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.17% (roughly $0.11 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 WIMI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WIMI should anchor to the underlying notional of $1.53 per share and to the trader's directional view on WIMI stock.
WIMI butterfly setup
The WIMI butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With WIMI near $1.53, the first option leg uses a $1.45 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WIMI 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 WIMI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $1.45 | N/A |
| Sell 2 | Call | $1.53 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Call | $1.61 | N/A |

When traders use butterfly on WIMI
Butterflies on WIMI are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect WIMI to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
WIMI thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WIMI extends from approximately $1.42 on the downside to $1.64 on the upside. A WIMI long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if WIMI settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current WIMI IV rank near 0.78% 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 WIMI at 25.00%. As a Communication Services name, WIMI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WIMI-specific events.
WIMI butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. WIMI positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move WIMI alongside the broader basket even when WIMI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current WIMI chain quotes before placing a trade.
