In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Wingstop

Analyzing Wingstop's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Wingstop regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Wingstop's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75.

Wingstop In The Money Call Balance

When Wingstop's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Wingstop stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying Wingstop'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 Wingstop 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.

Investors also form their own opinion of Wingstop's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Wingstop'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 Wingstop's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Wingstop's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Investors typically determine if Wingstop is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Wingstop'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.
