What is a collar on BREW?
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.
BREW snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $25.49, ATM IV 411.90%, IV rank 86.31%, expected move 118.09%. The collar on BREW below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 17-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on BREW specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; elevated BREW IV at 411.90% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 118.09% (roughly $30.10 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated BREW expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BREW should anchor to the underlying notional of $25.49 per share and to the trader's directional view on BREW stock.
BREW collar setup
The BREW 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 BREW at $25.49 on that close, the first option leg uses a $26.76 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BREW chain at a 17-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 BREW shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

BREW thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BREW extends from approximately $-4.61 on the downside to $55.59 on the upside. A BREW collar hedges an existing long BREW 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 BREW IV rank near 86.31% 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 BREW at 411.90%. As a Financial Services name, BREW options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BREW-specific events.
BREW 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. BREW positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BREW alongside the broader basket even when BREW-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current BREW chain quotes before placing a trade.
