KR expected move by expiration
Expected move = price x at-the-money IV x the square root of (days to expiration / 365), a one standard deviation range. The straddle is the at-the-money call plus put, the market's own price for a move. Compare expected moves across stocks.
| Expiration | IV | Expected move | 1 SD range | Straddle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 9, 20268 days | 29.4% | ±$2.59 (4.4%) | $56.89 to $62.07 | $2.10 |
| Oct 30, 202629 days | 26.5% | ±$4.45 (7.5%) | $55.03 to $63.93 | $3.57 |
| Nov 20, 202650 days | 26.7% | ±$5.88 (9.9%) | $53.60 to $65.36 | $4.70 |
| Dec 18, 202678 days | 30.9% | ±$8.50 (14.3%) | $50.98 to $67.98 | $6.78 |
Each expiration has its own implied volatility, and short-dated IV reacts more to near-term events, so the nearest expiration can differ a lot from the 30-day figure.
