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 ARXS snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $34.73, ATM IV 54.10%, expected move 15.51%. The collar on ARXS 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 ARXS specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ARXS is inferred from ATM IV at 54.10% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.51% (roughly $5.39 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 ARXS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARXS should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARXS stock.
ARXS collar setup
The ARXS 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 ARXS near $34.73, the first option leg uses a $36.47 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARXS 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 ARXS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ARXS thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ARXS extends from approximately $29.34 on the downside to $40.12 on the upside. A ARXS collar hedges an existing long ARXS 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. As a Industrials name, ARXS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARXS-specific events.
ARXS 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. ARXS positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARXS alongside the broader basket even when ARXS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ARXS chain quotes before placing a trade.
