Out of the money

An option or warrant with negative intrinsic value.a call option/warrant whose exercise price is higher than the price of its underlying asset has no intrinsic value and is out of the money. e.g. an option to buy a share at 80p when it is trading at 72p.a put option whose exercise price is lower than the price of its underlying asset has no intrinsic value and is out of the money. e.g. an option to sell a share at 72p when it is trading at 80p.The only value that out of the money options/warrants can have is their time value. Put another way, while there is still some time before the expiry of the option or warrant, there is always a chance that the price of the underlying asset will move in favour of the option/warrant holder. Using the examples above, the holder of the put option might be saved if the price of the share rises to 90p, and the holder of the put option might be saved if the price of the share drops to 60p. Time value declines the nearer the option gets to expiry.
