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

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

Stantec In The Money Call Balance

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