Buying Werner Enterprises' call option is the simplest of option trades. A call option on Werner Stock gives investors the right (but not the obligation) to purchase Werner Enterprises at the given strike price. Therefore Werner Enterprises' call intrinsic value or payoff at expiration depends on where the Werner Stock price is relative to the call option strike price. The strike price of 35.0 is the critical point that divides the payoff function into two parts. Below the strike, the payoff chart is constant and negative (the trade is a loss). Above the strike, the payoff line is upward sloping as the option payoff rises in proportion with Werner Enterprises' price. Finally, at the break-even point of 35.0, the line crosses zero, and trading Werner becomes profitable.
