Universal Display In The Money Call Balance

When Universal Display's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Universal Display stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Universal Display's options that are 'In the Money' or 'Out of the Money', the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Universal Display are typically viewed as the more aggressive, there are potential upsides to purchasing these types of options contracts. For one, the cost to buy an 'Out of the Money' option is lower than the cost to buy an 'In the Money' option. This cost-benefit is due to the fact that at the time of the purchase, 'Out of the Money' contracts have no intrinsic value. So, while the potential for a 100% loss is more significant, the cost and risk to enter the trade are lower.

Rule 16 of the current Universal contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Universal Display will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0338% per day over the life of the 2025-12-19 option contract. With Universal Display trading at USD 143.37, that is roughly USD 0.0484. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Universal Display's daily price movement you should consider buying Universal Display options at the current volatility level of 0.54%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
Purchasing Universal Display options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" Universal calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Universal Display stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

The market value of Universal Display is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Universal that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Universal Display's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Universal Display's 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 Universal Display's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Universal Display's 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 Universal Display's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Universal Display is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Universal Display's 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.
