What is a collar on CXM?
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 CXM snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $5.06, ATM IV 61.40%, IV rank 9.45%, expected move 17.60%. The collar on CXM 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 CXM specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed CXM IV at 61.40% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.60% (roughly $0.89 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 CXM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CXM should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.06 per share and to the trader's directional view on CXM stock.
CXM collar setup
The CXM 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 CXM near $5.06, the first option leg uses a $5.31 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CXM 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 CXM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $5.06 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $5.31 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $4.81 | N/A |

CXM thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CXM extends from approximately $4.17 on the downside to $5.95 on the upside. A CXM collar hedges an existing long CXM 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 CXM IV rank near 9.45% 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 CXM at 61.40%. As a Technology name, CXM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CXM-specific events.
CXM 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. CXM positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CXM alongside the broader basket even when CXM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CXM chain quotes before placing a trade.
