What is a collar on CVEO?
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.
CVEO snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $33.02, ATM IV 47.30%, IV rank 10.66%, expected move 13.56%. The collar on CVEO below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on CVEO specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed CVEO IV at 47.30% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.56% (roughly $4.48 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CVEO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CVEO should anchor to the underlying notional of $33.02 per share and to the trader's directional view on CVEO stock.
CVEO collar setup
The CVEO collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CVEO at $33.02 on that close, the first option leg uses a $35.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CVEO chain at a 35-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 CVEO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Collars on CVEO hedge an existing long CVEO 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.
CVEO thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CVEO extends from approximately $28.54 on the downside to $37.50 on the upside. A CVEO collar hedges an existing long CVEO 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 CVEO IV rank near 10.66% 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 CVEO at 47.30%. As a Industrials name, CVEO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CVEO-specific events.
CVEO 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. CVEO positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CVEO alongside the broader basket even when CVEO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CVEO chain quotes before placing a trade.
