Current FRHC snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $141.12, ATM IV 43.60%, IV rank 37.57%, expected move 12.50%. The collar on FRHC 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 FRHC specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range FRHC IV at 43.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.50% (roughly $17.64 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 FRHC expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FRHC should anchor to the underlying notional of $141.12 per share and to the trader's directional view on FRHC stock.
FRHC collar setup
The FRHC 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 FRHC near $141.12, the first option leg uses a $150.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FRHC 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 FRHC shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

FRHC thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FRHC extends from approximately $123.48 on the downside to $158.76 on the upside. A FRHC collar hedges an existing long FRHC 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 FRHC IV rank near 37.57% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on FRHC should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, FRHC options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FRHC-specific events.
FRHC 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. FRHC positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FRHC alongside the broader basket even when FRHC-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FRHC chain quotes before placing a trade.
