DOV Hedge Radar
Neither score is at an extreme today. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where DOV sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.
Protection is priced in the cheap band (3.5) — near-dated vol is priced 21% below far-dated, and implied vol sits in the 10th percentile of its own past year, measured against this name's own rolling 30-trading-day realized moves (474 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.31): its realized-vol regime is contracting, and it is trading 3% below its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability.
