A call option on Verona Stock gives investors the right (but not the obligation) to purchase Verona Pharma at the given strike price. Therefore Verona Pharma's call intrinsic value or payoff at expiration depends on where the Verona Stock price is relative to the call option strike price. The strike price of 40.0 is the critical point that divides the payoff function into two parts. Below the strike, the payoff chart is constant and negative (the trade is a loss). Above the strike, the payoff line is upward sloping as the option payoff rises in proportion with Verona Pharma's price.

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