The leverage inherent in employee stock options has always been addressed in StockOpter.

Keep in mind that stock options have leverage because they are granted at a fixed exercise price. Restricted stock grants and shares of stock do not have leverage. For more information on leverage check out this Leverage Concept Video.

The original StockOpter leverage analysis table shown below calculates the value change for an incremental change in stock price for all of company stock and options entered into StockOpter.

The moral of this story is that stock option exercises need to be timely to minimize the effects of negative leverage. The new StockOpter leverage table below calculates the leverage factor for each individual stock option.

Due to size constraints, this table shows only a single positive and negative incremental price change. Details like the exercise price and expiration date are also excluded, but can be cross referenced on the "in-the-money" value table.

It can be inferred that zero value fields indicate under water grants where the stock price is below the exercise price and grants with small value change percentages have significant intrinsic value. This table also correlates with the Insight Ratio table.

Grants with small value change percentages will have low Insight Ratios. However, leverage doesn't factor in "time to expiration" so it is a less accurate indicator of when to exercise than the Insight Ratio. Bullish vs bearish forex, it can be used to help stock option recipients to better understand employee stock option leverage leverage effect and make informed decisions.

This new table is included in the updated "All Output" template as leverage table 3 so users can view it with any of their current participant cases. If you have any comments regarding this table please share them below.
