What is a collar on GGR?
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 GGR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $3.96, ATM IV 125.30%, IV rank 22.39%, expected move 35.92%. The collar on GGR 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 GGR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed GGR IV at 125.30% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 35.92% (roughly $1.42 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 GGR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GGR should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.96 per share and to the trader's directional view on GGR stock.
GGR collar setup
The GGR 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 GGR near $3.96, the first option leg uses a $4.16 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GGR 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 GGR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $3.96 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $4.16 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $3.76 | N/A |

GGR thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GGR extends from approximately $2.54 on the downside to $5.38 on the upside. A GGR collar hedges an existing long GGR 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 GGR IV rank near 22.39% 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 GGR at 125.30%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, GGR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GGR-specific events.
GGR 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. GGR positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GGR alongside the broader basket even when GGR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current GGR chain quotes before placing a trade.
