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 straddle on WIMI?
A long straddle buys an ATM call and an ATM put at the same strike, profiting from a large move in either direction; max loss equals the combined debit when the underlying pins to the 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 straddle 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 straddle 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 straddle, 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 straddle setup
The WIMI straddle 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 $1.53 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).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |

When traders use straddle on WIMI

WIMI thesis for this straddle
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 straddle is a pure-volatility play: it profits when the underlying moves far enough from the strike in either direction to overcome the combined call plus put debit, regardless of direction. 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 straddle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium); 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.
