Current RBRK snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $64.30, ATM IV 86.75%, IV rank 56.00%, expected move 24.87%. The collar on RBRK 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 28-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on RBRK specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range RBRK IV at 86.75% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 24.87% (roughly $15.99 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RBRK expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RBRK should anchor to the underlying notional of $64.30 per share and to the trader's directional view on RBRK stock.
RBRK collar setup
The RBRK 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 RBRK near $64.30, the first option leg uses a $68.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RBRK chain at a 28-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 RBRK shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RBRK thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RBRK extends from approximately $48.31 on the downside to $80.29 on the upside. A RBRK collar hedges an existing long RBRK 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 RBRK IV rank near 56.00% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on RBRK should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, RBRK options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RBRK-specific events.
RBRK 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. RBRK positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RBRK alongside the broader basket even when RBRK-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RBRK chain quotes before placing a trade.
