Western Union CO equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge WU 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 WU'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 WU option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Western Union CO grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Western Union CO typically takes the form of incentive stock options (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NSOs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). Incentive stock options can trigger the alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you exercise. Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
