What is a collar on TH?

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 TH snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $18.73, ATM IV 53.10%, IV rank 30.39%, expected move 15.22%. The collar on TH 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 TH specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range TH IV at 53.10% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.22% (roughly $2.85 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 TH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TH should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on TH stock.

TH collar setup

The TH 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 TH near $18.73, the first option leg uses a $20.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TH 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 TH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use collar on TH

Collars on TH hedge an existing long TH 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.

TH thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TH extends from approximately $15.88 on the downside to $21.58 on the upside. A TH collar hedges an existing long TH 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 TH IV rank near 30.39% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on TH should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, TH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TH-specific events.

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