RISK ANALYSIS
TEVA Gamma Walls
TEVA Hedge Radar
Fragility reads low; protection is priced cheap. Neither axis is a forecast — this is where TEVA sits on protection cost vs. fragility today.
Protection is priced in the cheap band (2.24) — downside puts carry 0.0 IV points more than at-the-money, and near-dated vol is priced 13% below far-dated, measured against this name's own rolling 19-trading-day realized moves (485 overlapping windows). Fragility reads resilient (1): it is trading 15% above its hedge wall on a wall graded HIGH for reliability, and its realized-vol regime is contracting.
