International Paper In The Money Call Balance

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

Rule 16 of the current International contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that International Paper will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0281% per day over the life of the 2025-10-17 option contract. With International Paper trading at USD 50.35, that is roughly USD 0.0142. If you think that the market is fully incorporating International Paper's daily price movement you should consider buying International Paper options at the current volatility level of 0.45%.

Purchasing International Paper options can give investors a meaningful hedge against losses and, therefore, could be used conservatively to decrease the volatility of your portfolio.
