FIS equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge FIS 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 FIS'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 FIS option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does FIS grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at FIS typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do FIS RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. FIS 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.
