GROY (Gold Royalty Corp.) trades in the Basic Materials sector, specifically Gold, with a market capitalization of approximately $731.7M, a trailing P/E of 487.46, a beta of 0.96 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 2.45-5.455, average daily share volume of 2.0M, a public-listing history dating back to 2021, approximately 13 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how GROY stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.96 places GROY roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 487.46 is on the rich side, which tends to correlate with higher earnings-window IV expansion as the market debates whether forward growth supports the multiple. GROY pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a collar on GROY?
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.
GROY snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $3.15, ATM IV 116.70%, IV rank 23.44%, expected move 33.46%. The collar on GROY below is built from the 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 GROY specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed GROY IV at 116.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 33.46% (roughly $1.05 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 GROY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GROY should anchor to the underlying notional of $3.15 per share and to the trader's directional view on GROY stock.
GROY collar setup
The GROY 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 GROY at $3.15 on that close, the first option leg uses a $3.31 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GROY 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 GROY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|

| Buy 1 | Put | $2.99 | N/A |

GROY thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GROY extends from approximately $2.10 on the downside to $4.20 on the upside. A GROY collar hedges an existing long GROY 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 GROY IV rank near 23.44% 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 GROY at 116.70%. As a Basic Materials name, GROY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GROY-specific events.
GROY 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. GROY positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GROY alongside the broader basket even when GROY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current GROY chain quotes before placing a trade.
