Current PRM snapshot
As of May 14, 2026, spot at $34.54, ATM IV 42.90%, IV rank 14.17%, expected move 12.30%. The collar on PRM 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 PRM specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed PRM IV at 42.90% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.30% (roughly $4.25 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 PRM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PRM should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.54 per share and to the trader's directional view on PRM stock.
PRM collar setup
The PRM 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 PRM near $34.54, the first option leg uses a $36.27 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PRM 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 PRM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PRM thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PRM extends from approximately $30.29 on the downside to $38.79 on the upside. A PRM collar hedges an existing long PRM 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 PRM IV rank near 14.17% 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 PRM at 42.90%. As a Basic Materials name, PRM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PRM-specific events.
PRM 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. PRM positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PRM alongside the broader basket even when PRM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PRM chain quotes before placing a trade.
