What is a collar on ITGR?
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 ITGR snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $88.73, ATM IV 42.60%, IV rank 6.73%, expected move 12.21%. The collar on ITGR 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 98-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on ITGR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed ITGR IV at 42.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.21% (roughly $10.84 on the underlying). The 98-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ITGR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ITGR should anchor to the underlying notional of $88.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on ITGR stock.
ITGR collar setup
The ITGR 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 ITGR near $88.73, the first option leg uses a $95.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ITGR chain at a 98-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 ITGR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ITGR thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ITGR extends from approximately $77.89 on the downside to $99.57 on the upside. A ITGR collar hedges an existing long ITGR 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 ITGR IV rank near 6.73% 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 ITGR at 42.60%. As a Healthcare name, ITGR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ITGR-specific events.
ITGR 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. ITGR positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ITGR alongside the broader basket even when ITGR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ITGR chain quotes before placing a trade.
