Pubmatic Maximum Pain Price Across 2025-02-21 Option Contracts

Max pain occurs when Pubmatic's market makers reach a net positive position across all Pubmatic's options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, Pubmatic's option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.
Please note that buying 'in-the-money' options on Pubmatic lessens the impact of time decay, as they carry both intrinsic and time value. So, even if Pubmatic's value remains static through the expiration date, the investor can sell to close an 'in-the-money' option to avoid a potential loss. However, in-the-money Pubmatic contracts are usually more expensive to enter than their out-of-the-money counterparts. So keep in mind that while the payoffs on an in-the-money trade can be high, the investors could ultimately experience a more consequential loss if Pubmatic Stock moves the wrong way.

Pubmatic In The Money Call Balance

When Pubmatic's strike price is surpassing the current stock price, the option contract against Pubmatic stock is said to be in the money.

While 'out-of-the-money' option contracts written on Pubmatic 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.
