What is a collar on PCOR?
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 PCOR snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $40.35, ATM IV 60.40%, IV rank 51.31%, expected move 17.32%. The collar on PCOR 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 17-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on PCOR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range PCOR IV at 60.40% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.32% (roughly $6.99 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PCOR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PCOR should anchor to the underlying notional of $40.35 per share and to the trader's directional view on PCOR stock.
PCOR collar setup
The PCOR 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 PCOR near $40.35, the first option leg uses a $42.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PCOR chain at a 17-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 PCOR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $40.35 | long |

PCOR thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PCOR extends from approximately $33.36 on the downside to $47.34 on the upside. A PCOR collar hedges an existing long PCOR 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 PCOR IV rank near 51.31% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on PCOR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, PCOR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PCOR-specific events.
PCOR 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. PCOR positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PCOR alongside the broader basket even when PCOR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PCOR chain quotes before placing a trade.
