Virgin Galactic Holdings In The Money Call Balance

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

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Virgin Galactic Holdings will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.09% per day over the life of the 2025-10-17 option contract. With Virgin Galactic trading at USD 4.31, that is roughly USD 0.003879. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Virgin Galactic's daily price movement you should consider buying Virgin Galactic Holdings options at the current volatility level of 1.44%.

Remember, the seller must deliver Virgin Galactic Holdings stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

The market value of Virgin Galactic Holdings is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Virgin that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Virgin Galactic's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Virgin Galactic's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Virgin Galactic's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Virgin Galactic's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Virgin Galactic's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Virgin Galactic is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Virgin Galactic's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
