Strategies

Wide Iron Condor
Sell 2026-06-26 $500.00/$490.00 put wing and $520.00/$530.00 call wing
Credit: $7.02-$8.58
Max loss: $1.42
Max gain: $8.58
BE: 491.42 / 528.58
Trigger: Target 50% max gain; close or roll if spot nears $490 or $520.
Captures premium from elevated IV and steep contango; wide wings reduce gamma risk. Bullish bias but spot above max pain supports range-bound move.
Outperforms: Sells $500/$490 put spread and $520/$530 call spread. Benefits from theta decay and expected vol crush.
Underperforms: Move outside short strikes invalidates range thesis.
Bull Call Spread
Buy 2026-06-26 $500.00/$520.00 call spread
Debit: $9.02-$11.03
Max loss: $11.03
Max gain: $8.97
BE: $511.03
Trigger: Close if spot falls below $500; take partial profits near $520.
Directly expresses bullish view from 80% beat rate and positive flow. Defined risk with limited upside.
Outperforms: Buys $500 call, sells $520 call for net debit ~$9-11. Gains if AMD exceeds $520.
Underperforms: Loss of support weakens upside continuation thesis.
Long Strangle
Buy 2026-06-26 $490.00 put + buy $530.00 call
Debit: $26.23-$32.06
Max loss: $32.06
Max gain: Unlimited
BE: 457.94 / 562.06
Trigger: Set 50% stop-loss; take profit at 100% or adjust wings on conviction.
Cheaper than straddle with wider break-evens; captures potential large moves from 80% beat rate and high IV.
Outperforms: Buys $490 put and $530 call for net debit ~$26-32. Profits from moves beyond $458 or $562.
Underperforms: Insufficient realized move reduces long-strangle edge.
Long straddle
Buy 2026-06-26 $510.00 put + buy $510.00 call
Debit: $41.89-$51.20
Max loss: $51.20
Max gain: Unlimited
BE: 458.80 / 561.20
Historical beat rate 80%, IV elevated, steep contango.
Outperforms: Capture large post-earnings move, high IV but crush expected.
Underperforms: Under-realized move and IV crush hurt long-vol thesis.

How to Use These Reports
This earnings reflects the market close on June 17, 2026.
What the reports do

Each report translates the same market-close options snapshot into a specific lens such as directional bias, premium-selling posture, flow quality, or earnings setup.

How traders use them

Reports are most useful for narrowing the playbook, surfacing entry and risk context, and deciding which raw data page to inspect next.

What to remember

These are interpretation layers, not execution guarantees. Validate the setup against chain liquidity, expected move, and exposure before sizing risk.

If the report conviction and the raw data disagree, slow down and resolve the mismatch before sizing risk.
