FIS Hedge Radar

Neutral

Full Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the fair band (4.36) — the move being priced is 1.50x this name's own median 21-trading-day move, and implied vol sits in the 14th percentile of its own past year, measured against this name's own rolling 21-trading-day realized moves (483 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (5.33): it is trading 1% below its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
