Carvana Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-03-21 Option Contracts

Max pain usually refers to a trading concept that asserts that market manipulation can cause the market price of particular securities such as Carvana close to expiration to expire worthless.

By contrast, Carvana's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

This is especially true when Carvana's options are deep in the money. These options can be identified using deltas that are over 0.75. Deep in-the-money Carvana's options could be used as guardians of the underlying stock as they move almost dollar for dollar with Carvana's stock while costing only a fraction of its price.
Carvana's stock options are financial instruments that give investors the right to buy or sell shares of Carvana common stock at a specified price for a given time period. Generally speaking, an option to purchase or sell Carvana stock makes it part of the underlying stock when the option's price is tied to the movement of the underlying stock. If Carvana's stock price goes up or down, the stock options follow.
At present, Carvana's Total Stockholder Equity is projected to increase significantly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Common Stock Shares Outstanding is expected to grow to about 242.2 M, whereas Common Stock is forecasted to decline to about 147.9 K.

Carvana In The Money Call Balance

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

Carvana Current Options Market Mood

Carvana's open interest and total value indicators provide investors with the necessary information to digest the overall options buildup for its expiring contracts. In addition, it helps Carvana 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. These ratios are calculated based on options trading volumes and current open interest.

Most options investors, including buyers and sellers of Carvana's calls and puts, are not very successful.

Rule 16 of the current Carvana contract

Base on the Rule 16, the options market is currently suggesting that Carvana Co will have an average daily up or down price movement of about 0.0544% per day over the life of the 2025-03-21 option contract. With Carvana trading at USD 230.49, that is roughly USD 0.13. If you think that the market is fully incorporating Carvana's daily price movement you should consider buying Carvana Co options at the current volatility level of 0.87%. But if you have an opposite viewpoint you should avoid it and even consider selling them.
  
Purchasing Carvana 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" Carvana calls. Remember, the seller must deliver Carvana Co stock to the call owner when a call is exercised.

The market value of Carvana is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Carvana that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Carvana's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Carvana'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 Carvana's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Carvana'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 Carvana's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Carvana is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Carvana'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.
