This is especially true when Colgate Palmolive's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75.

Colgate Palmolive In The Money Call Balance

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

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Colgate Palmolive will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0231% per day over the life of the 2025-06-20 option contract. With Colgate Palmolive trading at USD 90.3, that is roughly USD 0.0209. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Colgate Palmolive's daily price movement you should consider buying Colgate Palmolive options at the current volatility level of 0.37%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Colgate Palmolive 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" Colgate calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Colgate Palmolive stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

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