Pfizer Maximum Pain Price across 2024-10-18 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 Pfizer close to expiration to expire worthless. According to most research, approximately 10% to 15% of all stock options are exercised, while about 35% expire worthlessly, with roughly 50% traded out before the expiration date. So, Max pain occurs when market makers reach a net positive position across all options at a strike price where option holders stand to lose the most money. By contrast, option sellers may reap the most after selling more options than buying, causing them to expire worthless.

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