Full Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.99) — downside puts carry 0.9 IV points LESS than at-the-money, and near-dated vol is priced 20% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 19-trading-day realized moves (485 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (2.63): it is trading 9% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
