A call option on Lithia Stock gives investors the right (but not the obligation) to purchase Lithia Motors at the given strike price. Therefore Lithia Motors' call intrinsic value or payoff at expiration depends on where the Lithia Stock price is relative to the call option strike price. The strike price of 145.0 is the critical point that divides the payoff function into two parts. Below the strike, the payoff chart is constant and negative (the trade is a loss). Above the strike, the payoff line is upward sloping as the option payoff rises in proportion with Lithia Motors' price. Finally, at the break-even point of 145.0, the line crosses zero, and trading Lithia becomes profitable.

The market value of Lithia Motors is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Lithia that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Lithia Motors' value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Lithia Motors' 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 Lithia Motors' market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Lithia Motors' underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Investors typically determine if Lithia Motors is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections.
