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

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

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