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 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 62.87%), the computed maximum profit is $450.00 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$350.00 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 $75.50 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current SIG market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 18.03%; 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 ATM IV is at 62.87% with IV rank near 65.31%, which is mid-range against its 1-year history. Strategy selection depends more on directional thesis and expected move than on a strong IV signal.

SIG Collar Strategy

SIG (Signet Jewelers Limited), in the Consumer Cyclical sector, (Luxury Goods industry), listed on NYSE.

Signet Jewelers Limited operates as a diamond jewelry retailer. It operates through three segments: North America, International, and Other. The North America segment operates jewelry stores in jewelry stores in malls, mall-based kiosks, and off-mall locations in the United States and Canada primarily under the Kay Jewelers, Kay Jewelers Outlet, Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry, Jared Vault, Zales Jewelers, Zales Outlet, Diamonds Direct, James Allen, Banter by Piercing Pagoda, and Peoples Jewellers names, as well as operates online through JamesAllen.com and Rocksbox. The International segment operates stores in shopping malls and off-mall locations primarily under the H.Samuel and Ernest Jones brands in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, and Channel Islands. The Other segment is involved in the purchase and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones, as well as the provision of diamond polishing services. As of January 29, 2022, it operated 2,854 stores and kiosks.

SIG (Signet Jewelers Limited) trades in the Consumer Cyclical sector, specifically Luxury Goods, with a market capitalization of approximately $3.17B, a trailing P/E of 10.76, a beta of 1.20 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 61.92-110.2, average daily share volume of 934K, a public-listing history dating back to 1988, approximately 28K full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how SIG stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 1.20 places SIG roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 10.76 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price. SIG pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

What is a collar on SIG?

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 SIG snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $75.75, ATM IV 62.87%, IV rank 65.31%, expected move 18.03%. The collar on SIG 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 SIG specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range SIG IV at 62.87% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 18.03% (roughly $13.65 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 $75.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on SIG stock.

SIG collar setup

The SIG 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 SIG near $75.75, the first option leg uses a $80.00 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	$75.75	long
Sell 1	Call	$80.00	$3.90
Buy 1	Put	$72.00	$3.65

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 $62.10 on the downside to $89.40 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 65.31% 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.
