Current UFPI snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $90.47, ATM IV 26.60%, IV rank 2.71%, expected move 7.63%. The collar on UFPI 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 UFPI specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed UFPI IV at 26.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.63% (roughly $6.90 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 UFPI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on UFPI should anchor to the underlying notional of $90.47 per share and to the trader's directional view on UFPI stock.

UFPI collar setup

The UFPI 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 UFPI near $90.47, the first option leg uses a $95.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed UFPI 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 UFPI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$90.47	long
Sell 1	Call	$95.00	$2.48
Buy 1	Put	$85.00	$0.88

Collars on UFPI hedge an existing long UFPI 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.

UFPI thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for UFPI extends from approximately $83.57 on the downside to $97.37 on the upside. A UFPI collar hedges an existing long UFPI 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 UFPI IV rank near 2.71% 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 UFPI at 26.60%. As a Basic Materials name, UFPI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to UFPI-specific events.

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