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

While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on SM Energy Co 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.

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