INTR (Inter & Co, Inc.) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Banks - Regional, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.71B, a trailing P/E of 9.57, a beta of 1.03 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 5.915-10.36, average daily share volume of 3.6M, a public-listing history dating back to 2022, approximately 4K full-time employees.

A beta of 1.03 places INTR roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 9.57 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price. INTR pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a collar on INTR?
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 INTR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $5.88, ATM IV 43.60%, IV rank 6.31%, expected move 12.50%. The collar on INTR 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 INTR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed INTR 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 $0.73 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 INTR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on INTR should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.88 per share and to the trader's directional view on INTR stock.
INTR collar setup
The INTR 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 INTR near $5.88, the first option leg uses a $6.17 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed INTR 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 INTR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $5.88 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $6.17 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $5.59 | N/A |

INTR thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for INTR extends from approximately $5.15 on the downside to $6.61 on the upside. A INTR collar hedges an existing long INTR 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 INTR IV rank near 6.31% 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 INTR at 43.60%. As a Financial Services name, INTR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to INTR-specific events.
INTR 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. INTR positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move INTR alongside the broader basket even when INTR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current INTR chain quotes before placing a trade.
