CHTR Hedge Radar

Neutral

Full Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (3.19) — the move being priced is 1.82x this name's own median 19-trading-day move, and near-dated vol is priced 14% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 19-trading-day realized moves (485 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.41): it is trading 2% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
