In The Money vs. Out of Money Option Contracts on Parsons Corp

Analyzing Parsons Corp's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Parsons Corp regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Parsons Corp's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Parsons Corp's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Parsons Corp's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Parsons Corp lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Parsons Corp's 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 Parsons Corp 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 Parsons Stock moves the wrong way.

While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Parsons Corp 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 Parsons Corp's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Parsons Corp'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 Parsons Corp's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Parsons Corp's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
