AVEX snapshot

As of November 13, 2026, spot at $12.70, ATM IV 80.80%, IV rank 38.00%, expected move 23.16%. The collar on AVEX below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 63-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on AVEX specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range AVEX IV at 80.80% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.16% (roughly $2.94 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AVEX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AVEX should anchor to the underlying notional of $12.70 per share and to the trader's directional view on AVEX stock.

AVEX collar setup

The AVEX collar below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AVEX at $12.70 on that close, the first option leg uses a $14.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AVEX chain at a 63-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 AVEX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 100 shares	Stock	$12.70	long
Sell 1	Call	$14.00	$1.28
Buy 1	Put	$12.50	$1.53

Collars on AVEX hedge an existing long AVEX stock position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.

AVEX thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AVEX extends from approximately $9.76 on the downside to $15.64 on the upside. A AVEX collar hedges an existing long AVEX 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 AVEX IV rank near 38.00% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on AVEX should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, AVEX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AVEX-specific events.

AVEX 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. AVEX positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AVEX alongside the broader basket even when AVEX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current AVEX chain quotes before placing a trade.
