PAAS Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.47) — implied vol sits in the 8th percentile of its own past year, and downside puts carry 1.9 IV points more than at-the-money, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.63): it is trading 2% above its hedge wall on a wall graded MEDIUM for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
