XLU 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
Nov 20, 20267 days	15.1%	±$0.92 (2.1%)	$43.12 to $44.96	$0.74
Dec 11, 202628 days	15.9%	±$1.94 (4.4%)	$42.10 to $45.98	$1.55
Jan 15, 202763 days	15.6%	±$2.86 (6.5%)	$41.18 to $46.90	$2.30

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.
