When the stock price equals the strike price, the option contract has zero intrinsic value and is at the money. Therefore, there is really no reason to exercise the contract when it can be bought in the market for the same price. The option contract is not exercised and expires worthless.

This relationship is an important determinant of the value of the contract and, as expiration approaches, will be a deciding factor when considering whether the options contract should be exercised.

Read More »Assume an investor buys one call option contract on stock ABC with a strike price of $50 in May and a July expiration. Further, let's suppose that it's the day that the option contract expires (or the third Friday of July). At open, the stock is trading at $49 and the call option is out of the money—it does not have any intrinsic value because the stock price is trading below the strike price. However, at the close of the trading day, the stock price sits at $50. When the stock price equals the strike price, the option contract has zero intrinsic value and is at the money. Therefore, there is really no reason to exercise the contract when it can be bought in the market for the same price. The option contract is not exercised and expires worthless. Exercising an option before expiration (which is not possible with some European-style options) results in the holder giving up and losing any remaining time value of the option. On the other hand, assume another trader bought one put option contract on stock ABC with a strike price of $50 and a July expiration. On expiration day, if the stock is trading at $49 (below the strike price) in the morning, the option is in the money because it has $1 of intrinsic value of one dollar ($50 - $49). However, let's say that the stock rallies and at the end of the trading day, it closes at $50. The option contract is at the money because the stock price is equal to the strike price and has zero intrinsic value. Therefore, the put option also expires without being exercised because exercising it does not monetize any value.
