Current PLNT snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $52.73, ATM IV 48.20%, IV rank 38.58%, expected move 13.82%. The collar on PLNT 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 PLNT specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range PLNT IV at 48.20% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.82% (roughly $7.29 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 PLNT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PLNT should anchor to the underlying notional of $52.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on PLNT stock.
PLNT collar setup
The PLNT 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 PLNT near $52.73, the first option leg uses a $55.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PLNT 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 PLNT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PLNT thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PLNT extends from approximately $45.44 on the downside to $60.02 on the upside. A PLNT collar hedges an existing long PLNT 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 PLNT IV rank near 38.58% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on PLNT should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, PLNT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PLNT-specific events.
PLNT 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. PLNT positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PLNT alongside the broader basket even when PLNT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PLNT chain quotes before placing a trade.
