How are SNA 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 SNA collar priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 21.20%), the computed maximum profit is $1,778.50 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$2,221.50 per contract.

What is the breakeven for a SNA collar?

The breakeven for the SNA collar priced on this page is roughly $402.22 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 SNA market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 6.08%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

Current SNA snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $402.39, ATM IV 21.20%, IV rank 13.21%, expected move 6.08%. The collar on SNA 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 17-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on SNA specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed SNA IV at 21.20% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.08% (roughly $24.46 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated SNA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SNA should anchor to the underlying notional of $402.39 per share and to the trader's directional view on SNA stock.

SNA collar setup

The SNA 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 SNA near $402.39, the first option leg uses a $420.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SNA chain at a 17-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 SNA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$402.39	long
Sell 1	Call	$420.00	$1.73
Buy 1	Put	$380.00	$1.55

When traders use collar on SNA

Collars on SNA hedge an existing long SNA 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.

SNA thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SNA extends from approximately $377.93 on the downside to $426.85 on the upside. A SNA collar hedges an existing long SNA 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 SNA IV rank near 13.21% 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 SNA at 21.20%. As a Industrials name, SNA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SNA-specific events.

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