RISK ANALYSIS
PWR Gamma Walls
PWR Hedge Radar
Fragility reads high; protection is priced cheap. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where PWR sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.
Protection is priced in the cheap band (3.11) — near-dated vol is priced 12% below far-dated, and downside puts carry 0.3 IV points more than at-the-money, measured against this name's own rolling 14-trading-day realized moves (490 overlapping windows). Fragility reads fragile (7.5): it is trading 11% below its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
