ACN Hedge Radar

Neutral

Full Hedge Radar

Neither score is at an extreme today. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where ACN sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.

Protection is priced in the cheap band (3.32) — the move being priced is 1.86x this name's own median 20-trading-day move, and downside puts carry 0.5 IV points LESS than at-the-money, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.85): its realized-vol regime is contracting, and it is trading 5% below its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability.
