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

This is especially true when PepsiCo's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money PepsiCo's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with PepsiCo's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.

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

In addition, it helps PepsiCo 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.

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that PepsiCo will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0213% per day over the life of the 2025-10-17 option contract. With PepsiCo trading at USD 143.24, that is roughly USD 0.0304. If you think that the market is fully incorporating PepsiCo's daily price movement you should consider buying PepsiCo options at the current volatility level of 0.34%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
Purchasing PepsiCo 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" PepsiCo calls. Remember, the seller must deliver PepsiCo stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.
