What is a collar on RNW?
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 RNW snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $5.41, ATM IV 48.30%, IV rank 6.22%, expected move 13.85%. The collar on RNW 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 RNW specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed RNW IV at 48.30% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.85% (roughly $0.75 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 RNW expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RNW should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.41 per share and to the trader's directional view on RNW stock.
RNW collar setup
The RNW 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 RNW near $5.41, the first option leg uses a $5.68 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RNW 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 RNW shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $5.41 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $5.68 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $5.14 | N/A |

RNW thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RNW extends from approximately $4.66 on the downside to $6.16 on the upside. A RNW collar hedges an existing long RNW 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 RNW IV rank near 6.22% 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 RNW at 48.30%. As a Utilities name, RNW options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RNW-specific events.
RNW 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. RNW positions also carry Utilities sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RNW alongside the broader basket even when RNW-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RNW chain quotes before placing a trade.
