Strategies

Iron Condor
Sell 2026-07-02 $110.00/$105.00 put wing and $115.00/$120.00 call wing
Credit: $2.14-$2.62
Max loss: $2.38
Max gain: $2.62
BE: 107.38 / 117.62
Trigger: Exit at 50% max gain or before expiry if spot nears wings.
Highest probability given high IV and pin action near $112; captures crush with defined risk.
Outperforms: Sell put and call wings to profit from post-earnings IV crush and limited movement.
Underperforms: Move outside short strikes invalidates range thesis.
Bull Call Spread
Buy 2026-08-21 $120.00/$125.00 call spread
Debit: $1.69-$2.06
Max loss: $2.06
Max gain: $2.94
BE: $122.06
Trigger: Roll up if spot rallies early; cut loss if below $112 support.
Aligned with 100% beat rate and bullish bias; defined risk mitigates IV crush.
Outperforms: Buy call spread to benefit from upside move with limited downside.
Underperforms: Loss of support weakens upside continuation thesis.
Long Strangle
Buy 2026-08-21 $110.00 put + buy $120.00 call
Debit: $14.38-$17.57
Max loss: $17.57
Max gain: Unlimited
BE: 92.43 / 137.57
Trigger: Close immediately post-earnings to minimize crush; set stop-loss at 50% premium.
Unlimited upside potential but high IV crush risk; less favorable given 40-50% crush estimated.
Outperforms: Buy put and call hoping for large earnings move beyond $110-$120.
Underperforms: Insufficient realized move reduces long-strangle edge.

How to Use These Reports
This earnings reflects the market close on June 26, 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.
