How are SIG collar max profit and max loss calculated?

Max profit roughly equals short-call strike minus cost basis plus net premium; max loss roughly equals cost basis minus long-put strike minus net premium. Breakeven shifts by the net premium. For the SIG collar priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 59.88%), the computed maximum profit is $516.00 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$484.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a SIG collar?

The breakeven for the SIG collar priced on this page is roughly $90.84 at expiration, derived from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain's premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The SIG market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 17.17%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current SIG implied volatility affect this collar?

SIG snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $91.04, ATM IV 59.88%, IV rank 63.65%, expected move 17.17%. The collar on SIG below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 SIG specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range SIG IV at 59.88% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.17% (roughly $15.63 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 SIG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SIG should anchor to the underlying notional of $91.04 per share and to the trader's directional view on SIG stock.

SIG collar setup

The SIG collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With SIG at $91.04 on that close, the first option leg uses a $96.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SIG 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 SIG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$91.04	long
Sell 1	Call	$96.00	$4.15
Buy 1	Put	$86.00	$3.95

When traders use collar on SIG

Collars on SIG hedge an existing long SIG stock position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.

SIG thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SIG extends from approximately $75.41 on the downside to $106.67 on the upside. A SIG collar hedges an existing long SIG 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 SIG IV rank near 63.65% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on SIG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, SIG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SIG-specific events.

SIG 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. SIG positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SIG alongside the broader basket even when SIG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current SIG chain quotes before placing a trade.
