Valuation

Stock Option Valuation

Stock options might be the oldest and most traditional form of stock-based compensation, but that doesn’t mean they’re always straightforward. Market fluctuations affect exercise and forfeiture patterns. Recipient pools, award characteristics, company circumstances, and vesting provisions can all change, rendering “plug and chug” expected term calculations useless. With a deceptively large number of moving parts, these days even plain vanilla options require significant analysis and judgment.
