What is a collar on WIX?
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 WIX snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $46.56, ATM IV 70.70%, IV rank 28.85%, expected move 20.27%. The collar on WIX 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 18-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on WIX specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed WIX IV at 70.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.27% (roughly $9.44 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated WIX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WIX should anchor to the underlying notional of $46.56 per share and to the trader's directional view on WIX stock.
WIX collar setup
The WIX 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 WIX near $46.56, the first option leg uses a $50.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WIX chain at a 18-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 WIX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $46.56 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $50.00 | $1.68 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $45.00 | $2.18 |

Collars on WIX hedge an existing long WIX 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.
WIX thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WIX extends from approximately $37.12 on the downside to $56.00 on the upside. A WIX collar hedges an existing long WIX 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 WIX IV rank near 28.85% 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 WIX at 70.70%. As a Technology name, WIX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WIX-specific events.
WIX 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. WIX positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move WIX alongside the broader basket even when WIX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current WIX chain quotes before placing a trade.
