What is a collar on CLVT?
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 CLVT snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $2.21, ATM IV 115.50%, IV rank 20.94%, expected move 33.11%. The collar on CLVT 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 18-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on CLVT specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed CLVT IV at 115.50% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 33.11% (roughly $0.73 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CLVT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CLVT should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.21 per share and to the trader's directional view on CLVT stock.
CLVT collar setup
The CLVT 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 CLVT near $2.21, the first option leg uses a $2.32 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CLVT chain at a 18-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 CLVT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $2.21 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $2.32 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $2.10 | N/A |

CLVT thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CLVT extends from approximately $1.48 on the downside to $2.94 on the upside. A CLVT collar hedges an existing long CLVT 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 CLVT IV rank near 20.94% 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 CLVT at 115.50%. As a Technology name, CLVT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CLVT-specific events.
CLVT 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. CLVT positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CLVT alongside the broader basket even when CLVT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CLVT chain quotes before placing a trade.
