DHI Hedge Radar

Neutral

Full Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (3.68) — downside puts carry 0.1 IV points LESS than at-the-money, and the move being priced is 1.29x this name's own median 20-trading-day move, measured against this name's own rolling 20-trading-day realized moves (484 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (5.3): it is trading 1% below its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
