About Insulet

Insulet (PODD) is a public Medical Device company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Acton, MA.

Last close: $148.03 per share (as of 2026-08-18).

Equity grants at Insulet typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).

The company makes the Omnipod, an insulin pump worn as a small adhesive pod with no tubing, which is replaced every few days rather than serviced. The disposable design converts a durable-equipment purchase into recurring consumable revenue and lowers the barrier for patients who reject conventional pumps. Expansion into type 2 diabetes widens the addressable population well beyond the original market. Pharmacy rather than durable-medical-equipment distribution has simplified patient access. Headquarters are in Acton, Massachusetts.

A protective put caps your downside on the PODD position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current PODD option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Example: a 5,000-share PODD position at $148.03 is worth $740,150. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $14,803 to $29,606) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off PODD's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Insulet equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge PODD 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 PODD'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 PODD option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Insulet grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Insulet typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
