Why two RV values? Yang-Zhang RV (40.3%, OHLC-based) captures intraday volatility, while ORATS RV (54.6%, close-to-close) uses only closing prices. For MOS, YZ is lower — suggesting closing prices reflect more volatility than intraday action. VRP is computed using ORATS RV to match the IV source. Gap: 14.3pp. Full IV Analysis →

Mosaic Company (The) is trading in a normal volatility regime with an RV ratio of 1.01. The 20-day Yang-Zhang realized vol of 40.3% is roughly in line with the 60-day average of 38.9%, meaning the stock's recent price action matches historical expectations. For a materials stock like MOS, this is a neutral signal — premium sellers can participate but should be selective with sizing and strike selection.
Over the past 18 trading days, MOS's volatility has been rising rapidly. The RV ratio climbed from 0.87 to 1.01, indicating the stock has become progressively more active. Only 5 of 18 days (28%) were in seller-favorable territory. Premium sellers should wait for stabilization before initiating new positions.
Based on current realized volatility, traders can expect MOS to move approximately ±$0.66 (2.5%) per day and ±$1.48 (5.7%) over five trading days. At a stock price of $26.07, these ranges are derived from the Yang-Zhang volatility model which accounts for overnight gaps and intraday range — more accurate than simple close-to-close calculations. Premium sellers typically place short strikes outside these 1-standard-deviation ranges to achieve approximately 68%+ probability of profit.
