ESTC Hedge Radar

Neutral

Full Hedge Radar

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

Protection is priced in the cheap band (1.61) — downside puts carry 0.2 IV points LESS than at-the-money, and near-dated vol is priced 15% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 14-trading-day realized moves (490 overlapping windows). Fragility reads neutral (4.88): it is trading 20% above its hedge wall on a wall graded MEDIUM for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is expanding.
