Open Interest Against June 20th 2025 Option Contracts

Walmart option prices can potentially be used to forecast stock returns because most option chains provide information not only about the current prices but also about the future conditions in Walmart's lending market. For example, when Walmart's puts are not actively trading or completely missing in the marketplace, investors can use it to internalize expected shorting costs. So if an investor is writing a put option on Walmart, he or she must hedge the risk by shorting Walmart stock over its option's life.

The chart above shows Walmart's distribution of open interest by maturity on contracts that have not yet been settled. The area between the two highest points is the projection of the price at expiration. Walmart's open interest chart also provides vital information regarding the liquidity of an option. If there is no open interest for Walmart's option, there is no secondary market available for investors to trade.

Walmart Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-06-20 Option Contracts

By contrast, Walmart's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

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

Analyzing Walmart's in-the-money options over time can help investors to take a profitable long position in Walmart regardless of its overall volatility. This is especially true when Walmart's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Walmart's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Walmart's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.

Walmart In The Money Call Balance

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

Walmart Current Options Market Mood

Walmart's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps Walmart Stock's traders understand whether a recent fall or rise in the market is unreasonable and if the time has come to take contrarian positions. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Put-to-Call Open Interest

Put-to-Call Volume

Unfortunately, most Walmart's options investors are not very successful. Walmart's option open interest and volume spread between outstanding puts and calls are regarded by many investors as reliable indicators of the overall future market direction.

Rule 16 of the current Walmart contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Walmart will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0281% per day over the life of the 2025-06-20 option contract. With Walmart trading at USD 87.46, that is roughly USD 0.0246. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Walmart's daily price movement you should consider buying Walmart options at the current volatility level of 0.45%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.

Purchasing Walmart options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio. However, many options could also amount to little more than gambling, significantly enhancing your overall portfolio risk. One simple example of these aggressive strategies is the sale of "uncovered" Walmart calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Walmart stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

Walmart Option Chain

When Walmart's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Walmart stock is said to be in the money. When it comes to buying options that are ITM or OTM, the choice depends on your outlook for the underlying security, financial situation, and what you are trying to achieve.
