What is a collar on PRCT?
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 PRCT snapshot
As of May 14, 2026, spot at $26.31, ATM IV 62.00%, IV rank 22.41%, expected move 17.77%. The collar on PRCT 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 35-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on PRCT specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed PRCT IV at 62.00% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.77% (roughly $4.68 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 PRCT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PRCT should anchor to the underlying notional of $26.31 per share and to the trader's directional view on PRCT stock.
PRCT collar setup
The PRCT 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 PRCT near $26.31, the first option leg uses a $27.63 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PRCT 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 PRCT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PRCT thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PRCT extends from approximately $21.63 on the downside to $30.99 on the upside. A PRCT collar hedges an existing long PRCT 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 PRCT IV rank near 22.41% 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 PRCT at 62.00%. As a Healthcare name, PRCT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PRCT-specific events.
PRCT 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. PRCT positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PRCT alongside the broader basket even when PRCT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PRCT chain quotes before placing a trade.
