What is a collar on TRMK?
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 TRMK snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $46.05, ATM IV 45.00%, IV rank 10.79%, expected move 12.90%. The collar on TRMK 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 TRMK specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed TRMK IV at 45.00% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.90% (roughly $5.94 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 TRMK expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TRMK should anchor to the underlying notional of $46.05 per share and to the trader's directional view on TRMK stock.
TRMK collar setup
The TRMK 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 TRMK near $46.05, the first option leg uses a $48.35 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TRMK 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 TRMK shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $46.05 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $48.35 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $43.75 | N/A |

TRMK thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TRMK extends from approximately $40.11 on the downside to $51.99 on the upside. A TRMK collar hedges an existing long TRMK 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 TRMK IV rank near 10.79% 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 TRMK at 45.00%. As a Financial Services name, TRMK options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TRMK-specific events.
TRMK 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. TRMK positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TRMK alongside the broader basket even when TRMK-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TRMK chain quotes before placing a trade.
