What is a collar on SEDG?
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 SEDG snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $62.17, ATM IV 120.11%, IV rank 89.73%, expected move 34.44%. The collar on SEDG 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 SEDG specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; elevated SEDG IV at 120.11% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 34.44% (roughly $21.41 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 SEDG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SEDG should anchor to the underlying notional of $62.17 per share and to the trader's directional view on SEDG stock.
SEDG collar setup
The SEDG 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 SEDG near $62.17, the first option leg uses a $65.28 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SEDG 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 SEDG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $62.17 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $65.28 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $59.06 | N/A |

SEDG thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SEDG extends from approximately $40.76 on the downside to $83.58 on the upside. A SEDG collar hedges an existing long SEDG 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 SEDG IV rank near 89.73% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on SEDG at 120.11%. As a Energy name, SEDG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SEDG-specific events.
SEDG 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. SEDG positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SEDG alongside the broader basket even when SEDG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current SEDG chain quotes before placing a trade.
