What is a collar on OSW?
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.
OSW snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $26.91, ATM IV 38.20%, IV rank 11.30%, expected move 10.95%. The collar on OSW 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 OSW specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed OSW IV at 38.20% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.95% (roughly $2.95 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 OSW expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OSW should anchor to the underlying notional of $26.91 per share and to the trader's directional view on OSW stock.
OSW collar setup
The OSW 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 OSW at $26.91 on that close, the first option leg uses a $28.26 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OSW 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 OSW shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $26.91 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $28.26 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $25.56 | N/A |

OSW thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OSW extends from approximately $23.96 on the downside to $29.86 on the upside. A OSW collar hedges an existing long OSW 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 OSW IV rank near 11.30% 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 OSW at 38.20%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, OSW options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OSW-specific events.
OSW 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. OSW positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OSW alongside the broader basket even when OSW-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current OSW chain quotes before placing a trade.
