What is a collar on AISP?
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 AISP snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $2.41, ATM IV 103.90%, IV rank 24.20%, expected move 29.79%. The collar on AISP 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 AISP specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed AISP IV at 103.90% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 29.79% (roughly $0.72 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 AISP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AISP should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.41 per share and to the trader's directional view on AISP stock.
AISP collar setup
The AISP 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 AISP near $2.41, the first option leg uses a $2.53 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AISP 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 AISP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|

| Buy 1 | Put | $2.29 | N/A |

AISP thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AISP extends from approximately $1.69 on the downside to $3.13 on the upside. A AISP collar hedges an existing long AISP 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 AISP IV rank near 24.20% 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 AISP at 103.90%. As a Technology name, AISP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AISP-specific events.
AISP 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. AISP positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AISP alongside the broader basket even when AISP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current AISP chain quotes before placing a trade.
