What is a collar on ALLT?
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.
ALLT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $7.84, ATM IV 294.20%, IV rank 91.46%, expected move 9.75%. The collar on ALLT 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 35-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on ALLT specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; elevated ALLT IV at 294.20% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.75% (roughly $0.76 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ALLT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ALLT should anchor to the underlying notional of $7.84 per share and to the trader's directional view on ALLT stock.
ALLT collar setup
The ALLT 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 ALLT at $7.84 on that close, the first option leg uses a $8.23 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ALLT chain at a 35-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 ALLT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $7.84 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $8.23 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $7.45 | N/A |

ALLT thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ALLT extends from approximately $7.08 on the downside to $8.60 on the upside. A ALLT collar hedges an existing long ALLT 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 ALLT IV rank near 91.46% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on ALLT at 294.20%. As a Technology name, ALLT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ALLT-specific events.
ALLT 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. ALLT positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ALLT alongside the broader basket even when ALLT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ALLT chain quotes before placing a trade.
