COHX snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $22.98, ATM IV 149.60%, IV rank 13.95%, expected move 42.89%. The collar on COHX below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 17-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on COHX specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed COHX IV at 149.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 42.89% (roughly $9.86 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated COHX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on COHX should anchor to the underlying notional of $22.98 per share and to the trader's directional view on COHX etf.
COHX collar setup
The COHX collar below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With COHX at $22.98 on that close, the first option leg uses a $24.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed COHX chain at a 17-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 COHX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $22.98 | long |

| Buy 1 | Put | $22.00 | $2.53 |

COHX thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for COHX extends from approximately $13.12 on the downside to $32.84 on the upside. A COHX collar hedges an existing long COHX position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current COHX IV rank near 13.95% 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 COHX at 149.60%. As a Financial Services name, COHX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to COHX-specific events.
COHX collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); 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. COHX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move COHX alongside the broader basket even when COHX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current COHX chain quotes before placing a trade.
