Our portfolio is comprised of high quality tenants in geographically diverse facilities which are positioned to capitalize on the dynamic delivery of healthcare to patients.

SILA (Sila Realty Trust, Inc.) trades in the Real Estate sector, specifically REIT - Healthcare Facilities, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.69B, a trailing P/E of 44.53, a beta of 0.33 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 21.94-30.63, average daily share volume of 712K, a public-listing history dating back to 2024, approximately 49 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how SILA stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.33 indicates SILA has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. The trailing P/E of 44.53 is on the rich side, which tends to correlate with higher earnings-window IV expansion as the market debates whether forward growth supports the multiple. SILA pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a collar on SILA?
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 SILA snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $30.55, ATM IV 7.70%, IV rank 5.72%, expected move 2.21%. The collar on SILA 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 SILA specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed SILA IV at 7.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 2.21% (roughly $0.67 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 SILA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SILA should anchor to the underlying notional of $30.55 per share and to the trader's directional view on SILA stock.
SILA collar setup
The SILA 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 SILA near $30.55, the first option leg uses a $32.08 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SILA 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 SILA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Put | $29.02 | N/A |

SILA thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SILA extends from approximately $29.88 on the downside to $31.22 on the upside. A SILA collar hedges an existing long SILA 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 SILA IV rank near 5.72% 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 SILA at 7.70%. As a Real Estate name, SILA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SILA-specific events.
SILA 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. SILA positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SILA alongside the broader basket even when SILA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current SILA chain quotes before placing a trade.
