What is a collar on GLOB?
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 GLOB snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $39.05, ATM IV 74.30%, IV rank 23.74%, expected move 21.30%. The collar on GLOB 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 154-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on GLOB specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed GLOB IV at 74.30% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.30% (roughly $8.32 on the underlying). The 154-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated GLOB expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GLOB should anchor to the underlying notional of $39.05 per share and to the trader's directional view on GLOB stock.
GLOB collar setup
The GLOB 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 GLOB near $39.05, the first option leg uses a $41.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GLOB chain at a 154-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 GLOB shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $39.05 | long |

| Buy 1 | Put | $37.10 | N/A |

GLOB thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GLOB extends from approximately $30.73 on the downside to $47.37 on the upside. A GLOB collar hedges an existing long GLOB 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 GLOB IV rank near 23.74% 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 GLOB at 74.30%. As a Technology name, GLOB options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GLOB-specific events.
GLOB 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. GLOB positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GLOB alongside the broader basket even when GLOB-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current GLOB chain quotes before placing a trade.
