IMNM snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $27.28, ATM IV 79.70%, IV rank 13.63%, expected move 22.85%. The collar on IMNM below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 IMNM specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed IMNM IV at 79.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 22.85% (roughly $6.23 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 IMNM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on IMNM should anchor to the underlying notional of $27.28 per share and to the trader's directional view on IMNM stock.
IMNM collar setup
The IMNM collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With IMNM at $27.28 on that close, the first option leg uses a $29.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed IMNM 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 IMNM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

IMNM thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for IMNM extends from approximately $21.05 on the downside to $33.51 on the upside. A IMNM collar hedges an existing long IMNM 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 IMNM IV rank near 13.63% 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 IMNM at 79.70%. As a Healthcare name, IMNM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to IMNM-specific events.
IMNM 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. IMNM positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move IMNM alongside the broader basket even when IMNM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current IMNM chain quotes before placing a trade.
