RISK ANALYSIS
CMCSA Gamma Walls
CMCSA Hedge Radar
Fragility reads low; protection is priced cheap. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where CMCSA sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.
Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.51) — near-dated vol is priced 13% below far-dated, and implied vol sits in the 6th percentile of its own past year, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (3.84): it is trading 5% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
