FIVE Hedge Radar

Full Hedge Radar

Fragility reads low; protection is priced cheap. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where FIVE sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.

Protection is priced in the cheap band (1.53) — implied vol sits in the 1th percentile of its own past year, and downside puts carry 0.5 IV points more than at-the-money, measured against this name's own rolling 30-trading-day realized moves (474 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (3.96): it is trading 4% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
