FISV Hedge Radar

Neutral

Full Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (3.09) — downside puts carry 2.5 IV points LESS than at-the-money, and implied vol sits in the 19th percentile of its own past year, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (179 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.51): it is trading 3% above its hedge wall on a wall graded MEDIUM for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
