Current ARBE snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $1.04, ATM IV 157.00%, IV rank 49.25%, expected move 45.01%. The collar on ARBE 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 ARBE specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range ARBE IV at 157.00% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 45.01% (roughly $0.47 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 ARBE expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARBE should anchor to the underlying notional of $1.04 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARBE stock.
ARBE collar setup
The ARBE 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 ARBE near $1.04, the first option leg uses a $1.09 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARBE 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 ARBE shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $1.04 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $1.09 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $0.99 | N/A |

ARBE thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ARBE extends from approximately $0.57 on the downside to $1.51 on the upside. A ARBE collar hedges an existing long ARBE 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 ARBE IV rank near 49.25% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on ARBE should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, ARBE options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARBE-specific events.
ARBE 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. ARBE positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARBE alongside the broader basket even when ARBE-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ARBE chain quotes before placing a trade.
