This is especially true when Hawkins' options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Hawkins' options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Hawkins' stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Hawkins lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Hawkins' value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money Hawkins contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts. So keep in mind that while the payoffs on an in-the-money trade can be high, the investors could ultimately experience a more consequential loss if Hawkins Stock moves the wrong way.

So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

The market value of Hawkins is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Hawkins that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Hawkins' value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Hawkins' true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Hawkins' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Hawkins' underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Hawkins' value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Hawkins is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Hawkins' price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
