BA Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (3.72) — downside puts carry 0.5 IV points more than at-the-money, and near-dated vol is priced 6% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.75): its realized-vol regime is contracting, and it is trading 5% below its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability.
