ADI Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.44) — near-dated vol is priced 17% below far-dated, and downside puts carry 0.3 IV points more than at-the-money, measured against this name's own rolling 19-trading-day realized moves (485 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (5.4): it is trading 2% below its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
