What is a collar on ADNT?
A collar pairs long stock with a protective out-of-the-money put financed by a short out-of-the-money call, capping both tails of the position around the current spot.
Current ADNT snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $20.81, ATM IV 50.10%, IV rank 25.31%, expected move 14.36%. The collar on ADNT below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on ADNT specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed ADNT IV at 50.10% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.36% (roughly $2.99 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ADNT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ADNT should anchor to the underlying notional of $20.81 per share and to the trader's directional view on ADNT stock.
ADNT collar setup
The ADNT collar below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ADNT near $20.81, the first option leg uses a $21.85 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ADNT chain at a 34-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 ADNT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Put | $19.77 | N/A |

ADNT thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ADNT extends from approximately $17.82 on the downside to $23.80 on the upside. A ADNT collar hedges an existing long ADNT 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 ADNT IV rank near 25.31% 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 ADNT at 50.10%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, ADNT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ADNT-specific events.
ADNT 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. ADNT positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ADNT alongside the broader basket even when ADNT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ADNT chain quotes before placing a trade.
