ACMR snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $80.28, ATM IV 78.78%, IV rank 36.85%, expected move 22.59%. The collar on ACMR below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 28-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on ACMR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range ACMR IV at 78.78% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 22.59% (roughly $18.13 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ACMR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ACMR should anchor to the underlying notional of $80.28 per share and to the trader's directional view on ACMR stock.

ACMR collar setup

The ACMR collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ACMR at $80.28 on that close, the first option leg uses a $84.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ACMR chain at a 28-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 ACMR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$80.28	long
Sell 1	Call	$84.00	$5.65
Buy 1	Put	$76.00	$4.65

ACMR thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ACMR extends from approximately $62.15 on the downside to $98.41 on the upside. A ACMR collar hedges an existing long ACMR 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 ACMR IV rank near 36.85% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on ACMR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, ACMR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ACMR-specific events.

ACMR 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. ACMR positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ACMR alongside the broader basket even when ACMR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ACMR chain quotes before placing a trade.
