Current AVTR snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $9.95, ATM IV 49.70%, IV rank 7.90%, expected move 14.25%. The collar on AVTR 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 199-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on AVTR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed AVTR IV at 49.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.25% (roughly $1.42 on the underlying). The 199-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AVTR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AVTR should anchor to the underlying notional of $9.95 per share and to the trader's directional view on AVTR stock.

AVTR collar setup

The AVTR 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 AVTR near $9.95, the first option leg uses a $10.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AVTR chain at a 199-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 AVTR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$9.95	long
Sell 1	Call	$10.00	$1.83
Buy 1	Put	$9.00	$1.10

When traders use collar on AVTR

Collars on AVTR hedge an existing long AVTR 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.

AVTR thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AVTR extends from approximately $8.53 on the downside to $11.37 on the upside. A AVTR collar hedges an existing long AVTR 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 AVTR IV rank near 7.90% 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 AVTR at 49.70%. As a Healthcare name, AVTR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AVTR-specific events.

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