Neogen In The Money Call Balance

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

Purchasing Neogen options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio.

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