What is a collar on CCBG?
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 CCBG snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $45.49, ATM IV 49.50%, IV rank 15.93%, expected move 14.19%. The collar on CCBG 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 CCBG specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed CCBG IV at 49.50% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.19% (roughly $6.46 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 CCBG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CCBG should anchor to the underlying notional of $45.49 per share and to the trader's directional view on CCBG stock.
CCBG collar setup
The CCBG 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 CCBG near $45.49, the first option leg uses a $47.76 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CCBG 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 CCBG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CCBG thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CCBG extends from approximately $39.03 on the downside to $51.95 on the upside. A CCBG collar hedges an existing long CCBG 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 CCBG IV rank near 15.93% 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 CCBG at 49.50%. As a Financial Services name, CCBG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CCBG-specific events.
CCBG 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. CCBG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CCBG alongside the broader basket even when CCBG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CCBG chain quotes before placing a trade.
