Current YETI snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $49.75, ATM IV 39.40%, IV rank 8.70%, expected move 11.30%. The iron condor on YETI 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 143-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on YETI specifically: YETI IV at 39.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling YETI iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.30% (roughly $5.62 on the underlying). The 143-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated YETI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on YETI should anchor to the underlying notional of $49.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on YETI stock.
YETI iron condor setup
The YETI iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With YETI near $49.75, the first option leg uses a $52.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed YETI chain at a 143-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 YETI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $52.50 | $5.00 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $55.00 | $4.05 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $47.50 | $4.50 |

YETI thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for YETI extends from approximately $44.13 on the downside to $55.37 on the upside. A YETI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when YETI 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 YETI IV rank near 8.70% 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 YETI at 39.40%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, YETI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to YETI-specific events.
YETI 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. YETI positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move YETI alongside the broader basket even when YETI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on YETI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical YETI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current YETI chain quotes before placing a trade.
