RISK ANALYSIS
PAAS Gamma Walls
PAAS Hedge Radar
Fragility reads low; protection is priced cheap. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where PAAS sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.
Protection is priced in the cheap band (1.69) — downside puts carry 0.7 IV points LESS than at-the-money, and implied vol sits in the 2th percentile of its own past year, measured against this name's own rolling 19-trading-day realized moves (485 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (3.66): it is trading 8% above its hedge wall on a wall graded MEDIUM for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is stable.
