The Effect of Moneyness and Stock Price
|
||||
on Theta
|
||||
Theta is not a constant. As variables influencing option values change, theta
|
||||
can change, too. One such variable is the option’s moneyness. Exhibit 2.10
|
||||
shows theoretical values (theos), time values, and thetas for 3-month
|
||||
options on Adobe (ADBE). In this example, Adobe is trading at $31.30 a
|
||||
share with three months until expiration. The more ITM a call or a put gets,
|
||||
the higher its theoretical value. But when studying an option’s time decay,
|
||||
one needs to be concerned only with the option’s time value, because
|
||||
intrinsic value is not subject to time decay.
|
||||
EXHIBIT 2.10 Adobe theos and thetas (Adobe at $31.30).
|
||||
The ATM options shown here have higher time value than ITM or OTM
|
||||
options. Hence, they have more time premium to lose in the same three-
|
||||
month period. ATM options have the highest rate of decay, which is
|
||||
reflected in higher thetas. As the stock price changes, the theta value will
|
||||
change to reflect its change in moneyness.
|
||||
If this were a higher-priced stock, say, 10 times the stock price used in
|
||||
this example, with all other inputs held constant, the option values, and
|
||||
therefore the thetas, would be higher. If this were a stock trading at $313,
|
||||
the 325-strike call would have a theoretical value of 16.39 and a one-day
