What is a collar on WBX?
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 WBX snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $2.77, ATM IV 252.10%, IV rank 53.01%, expected move 72.27%. The collar on WBX 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 WBX specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range WBX IV at 252.10% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 72.27% (roughly $2.00 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 WBX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WBX should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.77 per share and to the trader's directional view on WBX stock.
WBX collar setup
The WBX 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 WBX near $2.77, the first option leg uses a $2.91 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WBX 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 WBX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $2.77 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $2.91 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $2.63 | N/A |

WBX thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WBX extends from approximately $0.77 on the downside to $4.77 on the upside. A WBX collar hedges an existing long WBX 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 WBX IV rank near 53.01% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on WBX should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, WBX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WBX-specific events.
WBX 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. WBX positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move WBX alongside the broader basket even when WBX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current WBX chain quotes before placing a trade.
