What Does This Mean on Yahoo Finance?

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

 

On the Insider Transactions tab, sometimes it shows 'Option Exercise at $12.43 per share'

 

The stock usually trades a lot more than the price being exercised.

 

What does that mean?

 

Thanks in Advance

at a guess....

The option is exercised at the STRIKE PRICE of 12.43

 

The only options that will be exercised are those that are in the money.

that is - for calls where the strike price is below the current trading price

for puts where the strike price is above the current trading price. So in this case it is a call that is being exercised at 12.43 in order to now own the instrument below the current trading price.

 

(If you dont understand exercising of options - google, read, and then ask questions)
