How are WYNN strangle max profit and max loss calculated?

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. For the WYNN strangle priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 28.60%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$244.50 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

The breakeven for the WYNN strangle priced on this page is roughly $94.56 and $110.45 at expiration, derived from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain's premiums.

What is a strangle on WYNN?

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.

WYNN snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $102.57, ATM IV 28.60%, IV rank 1.04%, expected move 8.20%. The strangle on WYNN 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 strangle structure on WYNN specifically: WYNN IV at 28.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a WYNN strangle, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.20% (roughly $8.41 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 WYNN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WYNN should anchor to the underlying notional of $102.57 per share and to the trader's directional view on WYNN stock.

WYNN strangle setup

The WYNN strangle 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 WYNN at $102.57 on that close, the first option leg uses a $108.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WYNN 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 WYNN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$108.00	$1.22
Buy 1	Put	$97.00	$1.23

When traders use strangle on WYNN

Strangles on WYNN are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the WYNN chain.

WYNN thesis for this strangle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WYNN extends from approximately $94.16 on the downside to $110.98 on the upside. A WYNN 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 WYNN IV rank near 1.04% 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 WYNN at 28.60%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, WYNN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WYNN-specific events.

WYNN 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. WYNN positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move WYNN alongside the broader basket even when WYNN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current WYNN chain quotes before placing a trade.
