What is a butterfly on XPEG?
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.
XPEG snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $3.90, ATM IV 157.80%, expected move 45.24%. The butterfly on XPEG 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 63-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on XPEG specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for XPEG is inferred from ATM IV at 157.80% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 45.24% (roughly $1.76 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated XPEG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on XPEG should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.90 per share and to the trader's directional view on XPEG stock.
XPEG butterfly setup
The XPEG butterfly 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 XPEG at $3.90 on that close, the first option leg uses a $3.70 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed XPEG chain at a 63-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 XPEG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $3.70 | N/A |
| Sell 2 | Call | $3.90 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Call | $4.10 | N/A |

When traders use butterfly on XPEG
Butterflies on XPEG are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect XPEG 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.
XPEG thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for XPEG extends from approximately $2.14 on the downside to $5.66 on the upside. A XPEG long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if XPEG settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, XPEG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to XPEG-specific events.
XPEG 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. XPEG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move XPEG alongside the broader basket even when XPEG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current XPEG chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on XPEG?
- A butterfly on XPEG is the butterfly strategy applied to XPEG (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): 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. With XPEG stock at $3.90 on the August 14, 2026 close, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed XPEG chain strike and the premiums come straight from that session's bid/ask midpoint.
- How are XPEG butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100.
