Cencora equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge COR stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and COR's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current COR option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Cencora grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Cencora typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Cencora RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Cencora restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
