Current RGC snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $28.75, ATM IV 129.60%, IV rank 30.66%, expected move 37.16%. The collar on RGC 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 RGC specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range RGC IV at 129.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 37.16% (roughly $10.68 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 RGC expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RGC should anchor to the underlying notional of $28.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on RGC stock.
RGC collar setup
The RGC 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 RGC near $28.75, the first option leg uses a $30.19 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RGC 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 RGC shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

RGC thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RGC extends from approximately $18.07 on the downside to $39.43 on the upside. A RGC collar hedges an existing long RGC 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 RGC IV rank near 30.66% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on RGC should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, RGC options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RGC-specific events.
RGC 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. RGC positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RGC alongside the broader basket even when RGC-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RGC chain quotes before placing a trade.
